At last i have some pictures of the steering wheel fitted ,having a bit of trouble with the horn push though ,has any one else come across this ,it seems to big for the wheel and also the horn wants to go off all the time ,think i may have something touching behind it .Even when placing the horn push to the wheel the horn goes off and if you turn the wheel goes off again

Looks cracking - wheel matches superbly - finishes off the interior well, i seriously don't think you'll be able to find another thing to change in the interior - im hoping you'll prove me wrong!
