Its never ending but cant stop myself!!
I got a full BSR exhaust for my Volvo, 2.5 inch cat back ( 2 box system ) 3.5 inch round slash cut tail pipe, looks the dogs but sounds ...well...mmm...a bit meatier but not as meaty as it did with just the cat and front box on :) but defo makes a massive difference, more responsive, seems to pick up well too mid range. Suppose stealthy is better than chavvy!!!
New front discs and pads too this week , original spec discs and pads , does the business, all it needs now is the tints taken out and RICAd and i will be happy ....for now !!!

The tints look sweet on it. Really sets the car off. Liking the exhaust aswell mate.

Cheers for the comments folks!! My thinking behind the tints is that I think it looks like i have tried to max power it by fitting tints along with 18s , exhaust etc but i really like the subtle improvement on factory spec look, so i thought if it was made a little less obvious ( or as less obvious as a yellow box can be !!) if it just had nice wheels, the clear lights, exhaust and it might just look standard ish ...hard to expalin what i want really eh ? !!! The interior is the way it should be with the black suede roof, the exterior is nearly there and the RICA could be shortly !

Hey 'flying banana'... that is one smooth looking T5R, looks great! I am for the tints, they dont look at all out of place on the car to me. Have to point out the ring sticker! Have you been in the T5R - was considering taking my T5 next year but I am having to sell it before then! I am assuming its ALOT of fun on the Nurburgring!
