Front bumper pls

swap it for the grey bonnet lol

[Rhys]

what does that mean? i have only ever broken one car in my life?

Haha, not aimed at you personally - just seams a trend in these times that cars are worth more broken and just when they've either got to the point where they've got it where they want it or just need to sell.

Yep, feel the same way with my 850. Because the autobox leaks like the Torrycanyon (I got Qady's 850R box *kof* 'professionally fitted' by some outfit in Hull) I now can't afford to get it done since buying the V70 (which I have to admit to me is a better car).
If I was able to I'd break it but it'll just have to be sold for peanuts as I can't keep two cars running (it's sorn'd at the mo).

Anyway, your car is looking good from those pics, what ya got planned next?

you reckon that would look good? just a little laquer thats come off, may get the whole bonnet sprayed and bumper while i'm at it

cant lower it with those wheels on and its staying comfy anyway so won't be lowering it, what do women know about style? lol she has volans lol

Don't think the words "comfy" and "19"wheels" go together really.

Looks good mate, but do you know the first thought i had when seeing......i bet thats slow

Not having a go just that one of the things that annoyed me about the autos was the high gearing and with 19s on you basically gear it up a bit more.

Bet it chugs in 4th

ive only just put them on and its only temporary until i get my new 17" pegs and sell my titans, why would it be slow with an 18t and map?

Tall gearing made worse by the massive wheels, the bigger turbo will help but that'll have a lot more lag the 15g so worse off the line and in gear performance??

It doesn't have any more lag than a 15g and it has power after 90 which it didn't have before

Really? I thought an 18t was a lot more laggy than a 15g.

What about this though

"My car is dog slow mate only just kept up with a saab 9-3 tid and a audi A3 tdi up to big speeds"

my s70r didn't have any trouble with saab or a3 diesels.

Well i hope it goes better then. But if you want to beat an overweight panzer tank on the 1/4mile at york i'd go back to the 17s
