At last i have got the wheel on the car but have a few problems that need sorting so here a some pics but will do full post when everything is how it should be...... i hope you all appreciate my F#*K ups so you dont make them lol. I have a fully working horn too which works with the OMP wheel.
The issues at moment are.......

1, BOSS is too big and rubs against the steering rack trim, i have another BOSS thats not so wide on way
2, Indicators dont self cut off anymore so when new BOSS arrives its just a matter of putting 2 screws in place.......Simples
3, Need a spacer to bring wheel 1cm closer so knuckles dont rub against the stalks
