They don't match the painted wheels 100% as they would if the wheels were diamond cut but tbh they look good for not being tatty like the old ones and in reality you don't notice.
Well, I got mine from a Ford dealer selling on eBay but yes.
Sold the old scabby lot for £34
I'll take a photo tonight of how they look with painted wheels if you like?
Uh oh, explosion imminent!
There's my RR graph to prove it 
Pfft, 6 cylinders mate.
More torque to the road? 
Enjoy watching your dual mass flywheel try to pull a Boeing 747.

Will take some better, more 'accurate' photos at some point

It's this adaptor: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Mond...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d028d9873
The fit is pretty much perfect The only thing I've had to do is chop out small sections of the rear 'chassis' of the dashboard behind the stereo in order to accomodate the RCA plugs in the rear of my stereo for the subwoofer. This shouldn't be an issue if you're not attaching any external amplification though.
Yes I bought the stalk adaptors, well worth it IMHO, for the sake of £30.
On a separate note, looks like the Trip computer (mpg, miles to empty etc) LCD backlight has gone on mine now, to accompany the odometer one! Bit annoying at first, however reading here: http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Fitting_Replacement_Dials_-_Mk3 getting the instrument cluster out just looks like a few screws and a couple of clips, and then the bulbs (286 'wedge' type) just simply screw in and out of the rear of the cluster, so I've got some bulbs on the way from eBay and will give it a go when I have a couple of hours spare.
Anyone else done this job?!

No, annoyingly having them up like that points to face level
I would probably have spent a bit more and bought a unit with a much better screen and rear USB etc, if I was in your position Imy
Fair enough! Well I wasn't necessarily referring to a full touch screen, rather one that isn't a small segment display
Loving having bluetooth on mine now, just need to see my friend with his pro microphones and measure the frequency response of the speakers and get the parametric EQ properly set up.. I'm a bit anal

After a fashion, yes. I've done similar when measuring subwoofer response and plotting it on graphs but I don't have any microphones with a wide enough frequency response for full range speakers
The green matches perfectly Excuse the crappy phone photos

What do the codes say?

Doesn't work when they're doing other promotions though, which they seem to be doing a lot lately!

Just changed the bulbs in the rear of the instrument cluster that illuminate the trip computer and odometer LCDs. Bit of a faff! I have no idea why Rybo calls me a perfectionist...
The odometer LCD has never lit up since I've had the car, and the other day the trip computer LCD backlight failed... and came back on two days later. So I thought I'd change them both for good measure. Bit of a fiddly faff but then I like things to work
You have to be very careful with the cluster itself apparently, not lying it flat face down or up, so I gently removed it and fortunately the bulbs (286 wedge type) just screw in and out of the rear of the panel. It's dismantling the steering wheel cowling and plastic paneling below the cluster that takes the time!
