Black racing maybe, not sure on the model though...

There should be a wee nubbin that sticks out the back of the wheel and slots into a notch on a plastic ring on the steering column, it does the self cancelling.

It wouldn't last long - fireplaces don't tend to get near 920C! I remember dane having his coated I think it was done by zircotec as it was the blue colour but it is expensive to get done. I coated mine with tech line black satin from demon tweeks which can be applied with an air gun and it's lasting ok (I've used other "High temp" exhaust paints which have burned off within weeks), for a lasting finish I think ceramic is the only option though.

Sounds normal. The standard temp gauge is crap, by the time it shows the car as overheating it will be majorly overheated! The stock temp gauge also see's the hot side of the engine - pre radiator, so it depends where your greddy gauge is plumbed as to how it compares.
