Having helped JT build his 850 to go racing in (after initially questioning his decision to buy and old mans car) I've come to really like them, and so decided I wanted one of my own. So after keeping an eye on eBay, this weekend I went out and bought my very own Volvo 850 T5

A set of Titans and maybe lower it a bit too. I think that's pretty much it for the outside
As for the inside before anything else I need to get rid of the tape player!! lol
They're the first things I want to do, but I'm sure I'll think of plenty more later on

Thanked 2,643 Times in 1,928 PostsNice one, great stuff.
That's one nice looking car you've got yourself, and with the suggested wheels and fitting the R front bumper it will look brilliant. Think you should try and source yourself an R saloon boot spoiler to finish the look off

Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.
