No it was polished. I have a pearl voodoo atm, but I thinking of swapping my brushed gear knob and vent rings with my vision gear knob and some polished vent rings to go with the handbrake handle. Whats the saying... "change is as good as a holiday." If I don't like it I can always change it back.

nah Ben don't do that. What you need to do is swap the brushed voodoo for my polished voodoo and you can do whatever you like with your vent rings

Been a while since I've updated this as I was overseas for a few months and also nothing really happened with the car.

However, now I am back and after originally deciding not to spend money in it, I've now got a bit of an itch to throw my money at it.

Bought myself a Mazdaspeed Rollbar from MXHEVN on the weekend. I've half installed it.. missing a few bolts as I didn't have ones long enough to compensate for the extra length added by the mounting plates on the bar. It seems to line up very well, however at the moment the top bends/corners are fouling a tiny bit on the hardtop. However I believe that this is just because I haven't got the angle right as I had to wrap it up before the sun set.

Provided I can adjust the way the bar is currently sitting, while being a tight fit, it should have no issues with clearance.

I'm still yet to figure out how to get a nut behind some of the holes.. it's quite confusing actually. While most the holes have an internal thread.. there's 1 on the base that doesn't and 2 holes (one on each side out of three) that attach to the seat belt tower that doesn't.

I'll chuck up pictures when I finish the job.

The next plan would be just to get that suspension sorted. What are some ideas guys? I really don't want to fork out the thousands on a new set of coils. I would be willing to go a second hand set of coils, or even just replace the shocks with something suitable for lowered springs + changing over all the suspension bushings.
