After MUCH pondering i've decided to keep my T5... was thinking of getting a D5 :slap:

Getting a D5 meant i would save around £1500 a year in fuel, it was going to cost me around £2 - £4k to trade in. My car is mint mechanically, Ric'd, Lowered and so much fun to drive, i just got it into my head.... better the devil you know. I still beam when i press go 7/8 months after buying her.

So tomorrow i'm booked im for a Powerflow twin exhaust and the 50,000 mile service.

Looking for some 18/19'' 5 or 6 spokes and 1 of them mesh grilles off ebay... if i can suss out how to fit em :slap:

Jim.

Jim, Glad you decided to stick with us.

If you ever need any help with cosmetic mods then I will be happy to help.

We have a forum discount arrangement with Rochford tyres (see member discounts board) and they do some quite nice Volvo replica's.

Hey Jim thought you had emigrated, as Dave said check out Rochford Tyres they do 18in Pegasus R wheels at about £725, i just ordered 19s too but not a 5 spokeer, nice to see you still around, also check out MickeyS60T5 pics in VB garage, he has same spec car as you on 18s.

There are some 18s on Ebay butg not sure if they are genuine Pegasus's?
But he wants over £1100 for them,

Phone Mark at Salvo and see if he has any in, You might get some Nebula or Tritons if you're lucky ;)
