LOL no only £23..50 for the bush,all the other bits were done this year and end of last year,the tyres and brakes were done 2 weeks ago.I added up all the bills i got with the car and the bloke has spent £1750 ish in 18 months ???? i thinks i got a bargain tbh,just need to sort glove box/bonnet and grille

i thought you were anti-poly-top-mount? once you hear it you know it makes sence! Sounds like a decent enough buy, hope it all works out :)

I am but if i gotta change it why not try the poly one???? it is a bit cheaper than the o.e volvo one aswell

[BlackBeast]

Anything else planned for it? Or are you keeping it standard?

Mess grill off the internet/ebay and S40 slash and a R badge stick on

[T5ER]

thanks WD looks very tidy does that

[arbee]

the qbm firewall one is pretty expensive Wayne, i'm gonna pick up a standard one i reckon, cant be more than £15 or so?

[Wobbly Dave]

sold/swapped the grill with bison - dunno if he still has it?

[T5ER]

LOL i cant remember how much they are now still thinking qbm uprated one maybe better

$60 plus all the shipping and duty issues, i reckon a hard mount at both ends of that brace may just be toooo harsh!

[arbee]

Blackbeast - i can see you're watching this:) - did you buy any firewall mounts on your group buy?

[Tosh]

I like the look of that grill Dave! Got me thinking it has...

I ordered one m8...erm I think...it's been so long since I put my order in LOL! I completely hear what ur sayin re the harshness, as I noticed a big difference when the Top mount bush was fitted...the car sounds evil when gettin near the top of 2nd/3rd gear:dgrin: sounds like the engine is IN the cab, also sounds very harsh on start up! Think Im growin 2 really like it that way tho, (havin said that Ive not driven the beast for a couple o months now:( ) so the addition of the firewall'er might make or break...trial n error I guess?

This thread was talkin about grilles (amongst other mods 2 Wayne's machine) I believe, so 4 what it's worth Wayne, I too think Dave's Red machine looked cool with that grille set-up, very tidy! I have an idea 4 altering my grille but as with most things it's takin 4 ever 2 get it outta the blocks...
