Chuck, my guess with the steering wheel is its been retrimed. There is a guy in the for Sale section doing this for folk. His work looks great and considering it myself.
The silver cover/box in the headrest is the optional additional speakers. My car has them installed too.

Very tasty car. Looks like perfect driving weather! I'm partial to Silverstone "facelifts" but my color was pure accident as it was the best car I could find a couple of years ago. I like that your mods are invisible. The styling is too nice to diddle with. My OEM front lip will be fitted as soon as I get the bumper repainted to eliminate all the stone chips. I think it will help in this respect.
Couple of questions:
1. Is the red stitching on the steering wheel OEM? My interior is (boring) all black other than the radio door which was the same glaring silver so I replaced it with the more subdued CR version ($25 on Ebay). I'm always surprised at the lack of cruise control on the UK models.
2. I just looked at my car and can't find this. What is it? (Just curious.)

Wee update, the Golf has hardly had a look-in recently, hence the thin layer of dust on it in this photo. 
Think the S2000 needs attention on the brakes, the pedal firms up initially then softens if you apply pressure.. so assume it's maybe a seal in the master cylinder that's gone perhaps?? Will investigate and rectify before its MOT next month.
