    Pics of my 850 t5 at last

    Well i managed to get some pics of my 1995 850 t5 as the sun was out and luckly i had polished it the day before, the car is far from perfect but doesnt have a spot of rust, a boot spoiler and front and rear 850r bumpers will finish it off with a set of alloys as soon as i can anyway leave a comment.

    Looks really nice, as you say a spoiler an R front bumper and dare I say a spot of lowering and it would be done to perfection.

    yeh a tad of lowering is defo needed, 20-40mm is max i want, that way i can comfortably fit some 17' wheels and not have any issues, full stainless exhaust, induction kit and im going to get the rest of the rear windows tinted and some v70 rear lights and will be how i want it.

    i thought about putting tjhe v70 lights on mine but decided to stick with good unfaded 850 ones as they really suit the colour and tinted windows better imo

    Looking good. Spot of lowering, some arch filling alloys, 302mm front discs and an economical remap will have you LAUGHING!

    Stick some V70 side indicator repeaters on, they cost next to nothing and look a whole lot better in smoked white instead of orange (yuk).

    Don't laugh but in 7 years I have barely noticed the car even had side repeaters! My car is the same colour - might try and get some of those...

    Well its already got a remap done to it but im not sure what it has on it, i have just got the oil and filter to do my oil change so that will be a weight off my shoulders, after that i gotta get my tracking looked at and aligned then a set of pads on the rear and a set of better brakes for the front, after that will get the cambelt done and soon as the service stuff is done a bit of tweekarage will happen, 850r front bumper, rear roof spoiler, lowered 20-40mm, 17' alloys, full exhaust system inc decat, induction kit and tint the rest of the rear windows, as well as getting the bits and pieces of paint that need sorting but all good things come to those who wait!!
