Oh dear what have I just done!

[The Flying Moose]

Well just had a massive impulse buy... spotted this on ebay and had to buy it

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-850-BTCC-Replica-Rally-Kit-Decals-Stickers-Rydell-/260687074937?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cb2291679

Do you think they would work on a grey 855? I think so but open to opinion, may have to buy a white one if not!


On a slightly lighter note I have also bought some white injectors, 16T and an R bumper.

Fitted the whites today and hopefully having a crack at the 16T tomorrow if I can get the heat shield off. Bumper is red at the moment but I primed it today and have paint mixed ready to spray it grey tomorrow.

Pictures to follow when its all finished :)

Can understand the white injectors, 16T and an R bumper, not sure about the graphic's though.

Good luck with the turbo mate make sure you dont lose the copper washers.

Its the first time I have seen a set come up for sale so had to buy a set. Just thinking of putting the Volvo 850 door decal on at the moment however I have seen a green one with a similar kit which looks good in my opinion.

A special place... lol it was found by a friend.

I know the place that did mine would charge a lot less than the kit, plus he has all that kit on records, he can redo any of mine if i damage them

[The Flying Moose]

Here are the pictures of the green 850 stickered up... what do people think?

Well I have done the dirty now as they say and bought them.

Will probably fit them see what they are like, wonder how many people will take the michael at work then change their mind after a quick spin!

I do like the sleeper image too. Perhaps I am going through some sort of chrisis!

[PaulZX]

[T5frankie]

it will look good as long as you have 18's and coil-overs with the wheels tucked up into the arches like the touring cars did

[t5 pete]

Just fit them and see what you think probley just using bits out of the kit mite look good like the touring badge for the side of front bumper etc

[p fandango]

Yours does look very good, I knew a white one would. Will have to see what it looks like on grey. I would imagine its going to be an all day job with plenty of water and a sponge.

I dont think the kit is quite as detailed as yours but we'll see. Ill have to pop over and see your car at some point.

Another chance to nip over, ill give you a buzz once they arrive.

Still havnt heard anything of the "speeding ticket" on the way to your place fortnight ago so hopefully nothing will come of it.

[Volvostorm]

Mine took all day to fit, that was a professional doing it to.

Your more than welcome to pop over and have a look, she's looking abit sorry for herself at the moment, sitting with her nose in the air!

when you do come over i promise we won't go to Powerflow or anywhere to spend your money lol

no fine/points is always a bonus, i've got mine to come off my licence but never got round to sending it back to the DVLA yet

I take it that you rate the powerflow near you? I need someone to remove the "suitcase" on mine.

yeh they did BT's exhaust including the custom welding/fitting for the bypass valve, there welding isn't exactly pretty but its always done the job

They were very good when me and duane went down to get my cat cut out. Cheap and even repaired my rear exhuast hangers by welding new brackets on for free.

I would reccomend them even if p fandango doesnt.

It wouldn't have to be pretty anyway, as it would just be a stop gap untill i got the exhaust done properly.

They will probably only charge around £50 for the job. Take it your going to cut the suitcase out? Will be nice without. If you removed backbox would still be mega quiet.

Probably, not sure if the back box has been welded on.
Think i'll keep the rear box on, don't want to much noise.
