Hi all,

Doing my usual trick of finding 101 things I want to change about my car the second I get it. Top of my list at the moment's the steering wheel - I've got the 3-spoke "sports" one, but it looks about as sporty as the Ford Probe I've got a feeling it was sourced from!

Has anybody got any idea what was the original donor part, and hence what manufacturer's hub adapter kit I'll need?

And while I'm at it... are those Mk1 MX5 door handles on the interior? Anybody tried replacing them? (e.g. www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/633)

Hmmm, thinking about it - has anybody got a comprehensive list of all the donor trim parts used for the DB7? I feel a project coming on!

Cheers all!

Window buttons and indicator stalks are the same as the XK's, I know that (albeit without the automatic lights/rain-sensitive wiper options).

Edited to add: Mk1 Mondeo for the window switches.

Already spoken to them, ordered the side repeaters, etc. They wanted £750 for a steering wheel, and I didn't like the options, so I'm on a mission now. None too keen on the switchgear with screws in, either.

Come 5.30 on the dot I'll be driving it, that's for sure - 9-5 I need to keep myself occupied with things to do for it, though!
