- full refurb and powder coated x5 volans now fitted (£750 with new tyres all round! Ouch)
- 850r genuine front bumper now fitted took me a year to find (i will do a separate post on fibre glass reinforcing it from the inside as they are prone to cracking. Mine hadn’t but wanted a project)
- new Ate front calipers and goodrich braided hoses all round (rears not fitted yet as struggling to source a brake pipe manifold).
- new idle air control valve from Volvo (£250! Another ouch)
- do88 reverse intercooler pipework. Purchased but not installed (£330 triple ouch!) can’t wait to fit this as the old stuff has perished.
One question I do have is around black plastic/bumper restorer. I have tried g-techniq c4 and it doesn’t look as good as the original black on the car when I first bought. Mitch or kmb must have used something that looked a lot better! Its also lasted a long time. I’ve sent a message to Mitch but kmb I was wondering if you remembered what you used to use?
Thanks a lot and can’t wait to put the photos up!
