Thanks, will look even better soon hopefully. Lucked out that weekend really, perfect colour, manual, cleanest car I've ever seen and the R bumper is already the right colour for the car so no need to get it sprayed.

Sorted the insurance last night, just need to get it taxed and away I go

To make matters worse, I cannot seem to find a Volvo to drive for the weekend so ill be turning up to Trax representing the Volvo performance club in a ...... vectra!

only messing about, he knows exactly why I bought it

Because you wanted an R bumper for Sams car?

God I'm good

Im just going to buy a genuine T5-R again when I find the right one.

Im not even sure what luck is anymore... spend three years looking for a mint T5-R saloon find one.... well you know the rest, get my old car back and have nothing but problems.

Its no cheap thing Volvo ownership but it adds character, I have no idea how those who cannot repair them themselves manage however!

Both very nice cars indeed...

I paid a bag of sand for my last T5-R but im doubtful ill manage to do the same again.

I wouldnt mind buying one with a bust engine and building one up over time now I have some temporary wheels, why break the grey estate you may say then? Well I was never really happy with it, it would never have been an R and having been a member of that exclusive club its hard to explain the appeal until you have... jamest5r will understand

[Jamest5r]
