    Oh dear what have I just done!

    Well just had a massive impulse buy... spotted this on ebay and had to buy it

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-850-BTCC...item3cb2291679

    Do you think they would work on a grey 855? I think so but open to opinion, may have to buy a white one if not!


    On a slightly lighter note I have also bought some white injectors, 16T and an R bumper.

    Fitted the whites today and hopefully having a crack at the 16T tomorrow if I can get the heat shield off. Bumper is red at the moment but I primed it today and have paint mixed ready to spray it grey tomorrow.

    Pictures to follow when its all finished

    Can understand the white injectors, 16T and an R bumper, not sure about the graphic's though.

    Good luck with the turbo mate make sure you dont lose the copper washers.

    Its the first time I have seen a set come up for sale so had to buy a set. Just thinking of putting the Volvo 850 door decal on at the moment however I have seen a green one with a similar kit which looks good in my opinion.

    I know the place that did mine would charge a lot less than the kit, plus he has all that kit on records, he can redo any of mine if i damage them

    Well I have done the dirty now as they say and bought them.

    Will probably fit them see what they are like, wonder how many people will take the michael at work then change their mind after a quick spin!

    I do like the sleeper image too. Perhaps I am going through some sort of chrisis!

    it will look good as long as you have 18's and coil-overs with the wheels tucked up into the arches like the touring cars did

    Yours does look very good, I knew a white one would. Will have to see what it looks like on grey. I would imagine its going to be an all day job with plenty of water and a sponge.

    I dont think the kit is quite as detailed as yours but we'll see. Ill have to pop over and see your car at some point.
