    Better pictures of the V40.

    Finally got the car out the drive for some pictures. The car isn't cleaned perfect yet but its getting there. here are the before and after pics of the paint job i'm sure you can see the car was rather abused by its former owner.

    I still need to tint the windows and put a powerflow exhaust tip on.

    Very nice fella. My wee courtesy car has the clear glass headlamps and I much prefer them to the standard type. Wish I had some... :0(

    Yeah clear headlights are much more modern the ones on the sport a better IMO they have a dark backing plate instead of the chrome stuff.
    You should get for your C70 the transform the front of the car as you can see with my signature picture of the R.

    I would love to. But it's just having the right amount of pennies at the right time!

    Very nice of you to offer! but I think we may be a bit far apart

    Never mind.

    I'm lucky and have the clear lights with the black back and I agree they look the badgers nadgers.

    Would love somthing like this for my first car but trying to get a decent specc'd 90/95bhp one is quite hard within my budget Going to have to stick with a 306 Estate for now.
