There was on the one i test drove before buying mine!
And the wheel is a genuine part from TPS so i doubt its the wrong one.
I'll be honest jamjay, my mate did most of the work, so im not sure what happened with that corner peice. I say break it off anyway!!
As you can see in one of the pics, the feed runs between the SMIC and the arch.
The way we did it was to attatch the feed to the foglight hole using gaffa tape, then pull it up the side of the arch and up to the airbox. My feed is 1 meter long and is just the right length.
Remove the plastic inner arch and it is alot clearer where the feed is going to go.
Its also alot easier if you unclip the plastic grill peice that houses the fog light. It basically just pushes out from the back.
Thanks
. I'll have a stab at this over the next week.

If you look at the first picture on this thread there is an OEM 225 steering wheel, note no thunb holes.
There usually just the same as the 210 one but with the red tab at the top and badge at the bottom

Yeh it does look a bit different, but then again that car isnt a UK model and even the dashboard is different (as discussed in the thread).
Anyway, i'm not worried.....it fits, it feels good, i like it!!
Looks very nice mate, as for the wheel looks just like mine has thumb holes on a 225

Well been on this forum 4 odd years and never knew there were two different steering wheels for a 225, every days a school day
Nice looking car mate, well done. Just out of intrest, how much did TPS rush you for a brand new steering wheel? (Oh, and I have thumb holes too).
Very nice car mate, love black wheels especially on red - it's just a shame they need a remap to keep up with the grey one's! ::
Got yourself a bargain there bud & the TLC you've shown her has really paid dividends - hat's off to ya fella. Will be keeping an eye on this one with interest.

Nice one mate! I'm loving the black wheels against the red. Car's looking really good!
I've got the same tax disc holder and S/S footplate as you, nice little touches ain't they?!
Thanks Phil, your is also looking nice.
Yeh, i think they finish the interior off nicely. Dont think most people notice them to be honest, but i like them so

Should of also said, i want to get the car rolling road at some point aswell, would just like to have some proven bhp figures now that i've had it Revo'd.
It would be nice to have it done at a VAG rolling road day of some sort, so i'll have to keep my eyes peeled.
Hey Mash, forgot to ask earlier, what head unit is that you've got?
I'm after the Alpine ida-x305. Yours looks VERY similar except for the screen.
Cheers
Mines the 303 model, and it's a very good headunit. Not sure how the 305 differs but I love mine and would recommend it to anyone. Quite pricey though by the time you've bought the Bluetooth interface aswell.
