Well after changing bits n pieces over, and still desperatly trying to get to the end of a boost leak, i decided to give her a detail to see if i could find some enthusiam for her.

Boost Gauge fiited also, and a set of v70 clocks.

Looking really good there, and you're certainly putting your stamp on the car. Hope you sort the boost leak soon.

Nice mirror shine mate,looks really good.

What did you use on the trim mate? I want some of that "showroom grey" but can't get the Damn Merkins that sell it to quote me for shipping. All other treatments in this country just wash of and streak after a day off rain.

Old engine oil bud, then wipe off excess, the more you do the less you need and the longer it lasts

Cheers, if I can get some of this Showroom grey I think it'll be the muts nuts, but the oil might have to do for now. I also read that tickling it with a heat gun brings it right back.

It's nice to see comments like this directed towards somebody else for a change.

I was always being told to lower my car

Often by merc too lol.

**danny-R** · Tuesday 5th February 2013, 15:54

Ah I get it now lol. I've been warned off the cheap coilovers but cant help wanting a seriously low 850 when i had my t5r they were over a grand.

**M-R-P** · Tuesday 5th February 2013, 15:55

I got lucky and found some brand spanky new Apex springs for £40 delivered

**danny-R** · Tuesday 5th February 2013, 16:00

This is how I'd love my next 850, obviously not practical but looks cool as hell,

**M-R-P** · Tuesday 5th February 2013, 16:04

My missus would say it looks "broken" lol.

**danny-R** · Tuesday 5th February 2013, 16:21

That's got me thinking, who has the lowest 850 on the forum?
