yeah aggreed strut brace would be cool, but unlike the T5 owners who can get the genuine brace at a resonable price, the T4 volvo brace is about £170 which is shockin!!!

mavv - looks cool dude, think i might invest in the new bailey DV36 :D

I can bring one up from Kings of Witcham if you like. Although Partsforvolvo is about the same price and great fast delivery. Dead easy to fit and you'll notice a huge difference in handling.

EDIT: 4000 yay!

How do you stop the battery shorting out :)

Pull the foam out of the airbox as well.

Looking good.

There is rubber on the underneath to stop battery shorting..

What difference would taking out the foam do? :)

taking the foam out will aloww the K&N to breath better without added filtration from the foam, Is the battery cover for you to do your titivating in? Also the modded air box looks a bit raggy compared to the other extra tidy mods you've got IMO. Still all in all nice to see someone else getting stuck in!
