Well, here I am with my third T-5.

I've had her for just over a month now and we're getting on nicely, so I treated her to a quick spruce up since the weather was fine this afternoon.

So far I have done a few bits to her, mostly stage zero bits and an 850R Clutch kit.

Wheels look good Bruce, but needs an r front bumper on it and lowering. Is there a crease or something in the nearside front wing at the door edge?

Yeh, the wing is folded slightly inwards. Very unsightly, but I'll get it repaired or replaced at some point in the future as it's only bent metal.

Looks nice, the comets look well on the car too.

Yes, I agree they do look well. Whilst I am here, Andy, you really do need to sell your car to me!

The car is looking well Bruce! Its amazing how much of a difference an R front bumper makes to the overall look of the car. It never ceases to amaze me! A brilliant colour match too.

I am looking into a turbo back exhaust system for my next motor. Obx do a really nice system without cat for £250 on ebay

Thanks buddy.

Yes, the OBX system seems to be the best bang for buck right now.

Currently at £220 with the exchange rate, even if it cost £150 to get it here and £100 tax, its still far cheaper then a a custom turbo-back or Ferrita/Jetex system with the added bonus of I can add a 16/18/19T with angled flanged without getting re-work done to the exhaust or buying more downpipes.

Bruce, I see you've removed the headlamp washer arms. You can order the headlamp trim panels without the holes in them from Volvo. IIRC they take a week or so to get, but they come already painted & cost approx £30/pair.
