There was no traffic light battle. Given that I was already in front, began slowing down as the lights were red and then the 8v came by the right, there was no stop > start.

Looking good matey! Very nice! 
What happened to my steering wheel? Haha! 
I've decided I'm keeping it.

It's replaced the Momo wheel and has been badly modded for a non-airbag GTi.

as i told you on facebook, it looks awesome mate. Many congrats on joining 16v crew 
Thank you khare, it's a good crew to be in.
