    that is very true also.
    the bonnet on his GTI-R is foookin mental. has a wizard tearing open the middle of the bonnet with electric from his hands to reveal an amazingly detailed engine underneath that has dragons made from flames coming out of diferant parts of it. the detal on each tiny scale on the dragon is unberleavable.

    Theme

    If you are going to going to do this I would keep it on a racing theme as the car was produced to celebrate Volvos success at touring car racing.
    Perhaps chequered flag on the background with a picture of the 850 touring car in full livery. Just an idea I will get my coat!!

    I'd be tempted to leave it completely stock myself as it's a rare colour and sought after.

    But, it's up to you matey!

    woow that sounds mental....got any pictures?

    I’m not sure a T5r is the right canvas for air brushing…..but it’s your car…..your call, may turn out trick.

    Does your mate do helmets?
