I have only one S3 spoiler left - in gunmetal grey. The spoiler is held on by 4 screws and one nut. The nut comes undone okay and one screw on one side came undone, but the other broke its head off as did one on the other side, I haven't tried the last screw. So you can have it if you reckon you can secure it partially with glue, ho hum... let me know if you're still interested.

Hi Wrinx, (155 to 33 to 155 communication) The Nardi steering wheel has been transferred to my series two 33. 
Aforalfa - utter sympathies.

Hi Paul, The list is as follows!
Drivers seatbelt
Both rubber vent jobbies at the sides of the dash (links dash to door vent)
Both rear door window runner/ quarter light divides
Both rear door inner handle covers (the curved plastic strips that hide the screws on the lower part of the armrest bit?)
Any confusion let me know.
Cheers, Lee |

Wrinx, There is a nardi for sale on ebay as we speak. Was at a tenner last time i looked. Well worth bidding hard for, so much better than the standard wheel. I even ended up paying silly money to get a nardi badge for mine!

Yup, someone else I know was interested in that, which reminded me of my search for one.
...but they've stepped aside so I'm watching it now

Well...I want one for my 155, the original (skinny version) steering wheel is 'orrible!
I really like the look of the Nardi, so far it's the only wheel I've seen that I like!!!

Any chance of a P4 petrol tank?

Yeah, that's a good one Keith. I've been staring at the one I've got in the garage in pretty good condition and wondering whether it would be worth my while selling (as I also own a P4 don't forget). Was waiting for a 10p listing day on ebay to consider the possibility. Hmmm.. dilemma.

Hi
Suspect the one on my car could be welded up (although I would want to be quite a distance from whoever was repairing it), but another tank would mean I could just swap it on.
If you are selling then let me know.
All the best
Keith

It's safer if you drain the petrol out first |

Hi
Would prefer to do the job properly.
It might actually be safer to do it with the petrol tank full to the brim. It is the petrol vapour that is explosive so emptying the tank will leave plenty of space for that while a full tank will have virtually no vapour.
Not that it is an idea I am keen to try out.
All the best
Keith
