Opinions on my black grille please.

[foammanmark]

Thoughts please on my black grille now with 'T5' badge on. Does it look better than it did as the reactions before seemed to be that it was too plain.

[smithson007]

I like it mate. You just need to move your horns though.

[foammanmark]

You down in Wolverhampton mate?

[smithson007]

Was it still on though and you decided not to go? Morecambe next weekend anyway mate.

[M-R-P]

Looks good mark. I'd like to see it on the car before i could say weather or not the border needs painting tho.

[smithson007]

Yes its still on mate. I got as far as killington lake services on the M6 and had to turn round and head home. In the 46miles that i did i used 5 gallon of fuel. Something up with the car so decided just to get it back home. Hoping i can get it sorted before next saturday.

I'll try it later on the car, but I've used Araldite glue and you can't rush it. I've got the grille in a warm place and hopefully in a 2-3 hours it will have set.

Just put a K & N induction kit on as well, and my ECU is away being remapped.

[smithson007]

Where did you get your K&N at mate? What did you pay for it?

Sorry to here that, but 9mpg aint good. How's the engine running?

Seems to be running fine. I need to check over everything as ive maybe not put something back on right since i did my PCV last weekend.

Have you got a pod or something to mount your boost guage into yet mate?

Hope it's OK.

Looks good fella. You'll find it'll make a huge difference once it's on the car.

I'm eager to get it back on the car, but the adhesive isn't setting yet. I know from using Araldite before, that sometimes you have to leave it overnight, but then it gives a fantastic bond.

[Cubes]

Can't remember what I used. It's still on though, which is a bonus. No point in rushing it.

[LiamT4]

That looks good there, but i bought a black mesh grille for my silver S70R and it just didn't suit it when it was on the car, i thought it would go well with silver, but nope. I replaced it with the "2003" C70 sports grille.

[foammanmark]

Hopefully back on later, Araldite setting permitting!

OK-it's back on. What do you think now please?

[T5frankie]

looks nice what about getting the car actually in the photo lol

[smithson007]

Where's the new wheels at for the D5 Mark?

[claymore]

Looks good to me

[foammanmark]

Where's the new wheels at for the D5 Mark?

Hiding from the salt on the roads in the house! They'll be on the D5 soon as Daza-B wants the Titans.

[daza-b]

[foammanmark]

No worries mate. I've not had chance to change them yet anyway, but if the weather permits on Friday afternoon, they will be swapped over. Then I can bring them to the Morcy meet.

[daza-b]

OK-it's back on. What do you think now please?

still missing something lol

[smithson007]

Car needs lowered and an "R" bumper.

[daza-b]

hahaha yeaaaaaa

[foammanmark]

I don't really want to lower it as I find it low down already, and have banged my head several times on the tailgate. An R bumper is a possibility if one comes up some time. Thanks for the tips!!

[foammanmark]

Yeah, the remapped ECU!!!

[smithson007]

Yes TBH mate they look good lowered but theyre not always practical. I filled mine up with fuel lastnight and the rears were rubbing badly.

[T5frankie]

yeah nice mate, any shots from the n/side? pmsl

[smithson007]

yeah nice mate, any shots from the n/side? pmsl

I was thinking he could maybe have stood on his head and taken an upside down shot. Lol

[foammanmark]

Just a minute- I'm off outside to take some!! LOL

[foammanmark]

I took these of the new 18's for the D5 'hiding' in the outhouse.

[foammanmark]

From what you were saying earlier, you'll be off to fill up again tonight as well!

[smithson007]

Ummmm nice mate. Surprised youve stopped yourself from poping out and fitting them.

[foammanmark]

I've not really had time, it's cold and I'm scared sh-tless after the experience a few weeks ago. I now have a trolley jack so don't need to use the scissor thing, but I've got to remember to tighten me nuts!!

[daza-b]

dont worry mate it will be fine :)

Yes those scissor jacks are ok for beside the road changing a wheel but not safe to work off.

Im still scared of kerbing mine.

Yes ive got new wheels on now mate. Think ill keep what they are as a surprise until Cadwell. Thought you might have already known what they were. Lol. I bought them on here.
My comets are just sat in the shed at the min badly in need of a refurb. Not sure what to do with them yet.

[foammanmark]

[smithson007]

It was someone down in the West Midlands near to work, but they are supposed to do a fantastic job. I've got the name somewhere, and I could take the wheels down and back up for you.

[T5frankie]

There's a fella round here that does them but he's now charging 70 notes a wheel. Does a fantastic job but i aint paying that much.

Look mate, I'm coming to the Morcy meet with a set of wheels in the car, so I wouldn't mind coming back with a set in the car as well. They would be at the refurbers w/c 20/2/12 and back the week after. That saves you transporting them around( except for Carlisle-Morecambe and back).
