    and now on the car too which I think make a huge difference and vast improvement





    next step is to buy a alarm fob empty case and try and paint it saffy pearl to match the car

    Looks great mate, exactly what I'm going to do to mine. Parts for Volvos have the fob cases on offer at the moment.

    Looking good, what else do you have planned, I'm thinking of tinting my rear lights, and painting the woodwork saffy. Also going to look at getting the dash top flocked, to get rid of the reflection in the windscreen.
