I thought it would be, but wanted to get 2nd opinions. Agreed, it will probably look strange, but there again, might just do it for the crack! I didn't even realise there was an extra spoke on the later cars for years, even after getting the parts car, I had to go check the 2 cars one evening when it was mentioned on here and was amazed I hadn't seen the difference before! So will be interesting to see how obvious it is on the same car
I did think about it being a good time to swap the brakes over, as I'm also thinking the calipers could probably do with changing - but I'm not sure on the ones on the parts car either - it has been sitting for a couple of years now.
