    New tailpipe :)

    Ever since I have had the Volvo despite having a couple of different tailpipes I've never really been happy with them. The JT tailpipe which came with the JT system that is currently on the car I particularly disliked. Having had one on the Orion before I had my mind set on getting an outwardly rolled tailpipe. So a while ago I looked into trying to locate one, I contacted a few specialist exhaust companies all of which tbh were unhelpful or just didn't reply. Then at one of the Essex meets I was chatting with Niles who had an outwardly rolled trim on his '1 of 9' grey 850 estate. He said he may know where to locate one and said leave it with him so I did. Then a little while later he came up with this



    So instead of this..



    I now have this

    I agree, I must confess when I first fitted it I thought "is that a little too big" but now having looked at it with the car on level ground over several days it's really grown on me

    Haven't been on Passionford for a while will have to take a trip over there soon to say hi

    Thanks, bumpers have always had the tops colour coded since I've owned it, not a brilliant job though so I've just recently had both front and rear redone along with the mirror caps, and lower front splitter
