    The front cam wheels are to far retarded, the car mpg isnt as good as it should be although still ok on a run, the Bolts on the cam wheels are all the way forward to the end of there slots, the bolts should be central. car feels a little down on top end power although this maybe down to the map also. Car has alot of popping on the over run and flames most of that is down to the fuel reg. lol

    Like i said this is getting done thursday and im trying not to use the car between now and then,

    In some ways, i'm so glad i don't have a volvo anymore, it means i don't feel like i have to keep cleaning and waxing the damn thing so it looks as good as the ones on here lol

    That looks really,really good. I never used to like black cars cos they show the dirt but since getting mine my views have changed somewhat. Not sure I could get quite the same results as you've achieved here but I'm gonna get cracking with the clay see what I can do! Photos to follow in due course....

    Wow the under bonnet looks like it just come out of the showroom! You must have spent many moons getting it like that so you can just dust it off every week or so now I guess!

    Now, if ever you decide to part with her ..........bet I would be at the bottom of a long queue here!
