remove your 02 sensor. have nut on new one at the top then thread it into exhaust when its almost as tight as it gets put it into good angled position and tighten nut up then put the o2 sensor into it ;)

These wheels are on offer in demon Tweeks at the mo.
Sure they were £569 on budget Tyres. Car will look well in kwackasaki green mate.
That's the colour of my mates rally cars & it stands out fair play. Defo metallic gunmetal or black on the wheels.

I nearly bought them for my last car but 17's was the optimum size for it & ended up with pro race 3's instead. They have good deals & cheap decent tyres. I got a set of Avon zv5's cheap cheap off them.

Good to see progress on your car , this forum suits it much better mor open minded membership, the world needs a Kawa green volvo and you are the man for the job !

you are a true visionary sir! Cant wait to see result,

Those wheels look amazing, though I'd be dubious about taking a machine polisher to them, it'd be very easy to break through the paint on them as it wont be very thick.

There is a new carbon wrap out .the 4d type which has that kind of translucent depth like real carbon fibre , I looked at the other stuff and was reminded of that plastic stuff your granny lined drawers and shelves with.
