I've got the stock wheel also, bought a spare to get retrimmed. I had the center stripe on my Leon Cupra R (standard on the LCR wheel) and liked it, so thought I'd get one again.
I've got all the parts to put the car back to 100% stock if/when I get rid of the car. Probably going to get my other steering wheel retrimmed in as close to stock colour as possible (it's a very dark blue, not black).
Bought a PDR kit of Amazon. Thought for 12.99 what could go wrong?
Dent was a 10pence size, got it to almost out
did around 4 around the door. Well impressed.
Just needs tapping out but scared of that bit so will leave it. Hope it's viewable

@pokerking that's very impressive. Couldn't send me a link could you?
Sure
Strange as it's gone up in price? The glue gun has an EU plug, I cut it off and fitted a UK type, easy.Found the black glue sticks the best to use, they go super hard. Can't fault the kit. Takes a few goes to pull it out.

I agree looks very cheap. The horn is too shiny and stands out.
Edit I take it back. Mine looks just as bad in a photo I found but looks fantastic in the flesh. I guess alcantara is one of those things that doesn't photo well. I have since had the gaitor done in the same with red stitching.

It looks better in this shot before putting it into the car.
I had been contemplating flocking the part of the horn/airbag between the wheel and the chrome ring, but I'm not sure if it'll affect the operation of the airbag?

I got someone else to fit a BMW performance exhaust
Sounds much deeper now and louder depending on how you're driving. Still not crazy loud probably could do with a performance intake at some point, as windows still need to be down to fully experience it..

Printed and fitted some solid door bushings as they're supposed to help remove rattles
After an ignition coil on my TT decided to go pop when pulling out of a dangerous junction (luckily I wasn't relying on its quickness to get me going and had waited for a decent gap), I fitted 4 new plugs and 4 new coils.
All good now until the next thing falls off it. I swear this is the least reliable/most expensive car I've owned and I've only had it 4 months (exhaust broke, rear wheel bearing failed and now the coils & plugs).
I'm excitedly waiting for the clutch to go, turbo to grenade or the gearbox selector fork pin failure to crop up next.
Still, I like the car so for now it stays.

Well that was fun. Driving at 60 on a single carriageway today. The heavens opened to a downpour. I turned on the wipers and the drivers side wiper arm sheered off and flew away. Couldn't see a thing. I had to find the nearest place to stop and wait for the rain to pass.
The E30 did that in the motorway. I had to drive about 5 miles before I could pull off. Sketchy!
Fortunately the wiper arm was saved because it got caught on the mirror lol.

The Mk2 did it on the motorway so I did what you're meant to do when you can't drive, used the hard shoulder
. Removed the remains of the wiper, grabbed the rear one and chucked it on the front, problem solved.Pffttt

There was no hard shoulder otherwise I would have.
Anyway, bought some T-Sport Compressor 17" alloys for the Corolla, they came with one Pirelli PZero Nero so I bought a part worn one to match it (didn't want to waste it and I wanted matched pairs
), and then a pair of Pilot Sport 3's for the other two wheels. Coilovers next to replace the stock shocks with lowering springs.
