    I think she really suits them which surprised me TBH. They aren't in the best of condition either, but still look good IMO.

    I have had the same with a few cars I've owned, I think so long as the mods are tasteful & of a good quality too.
    I doubt you have plans for Lamborghini doors & neon washer jets though. Lol

    My biggest plan is to spend money on her bodywork, in an attempt to bring her back to her former glory. A couple of bodyshops will be looking at her soon for their opinions. The 'faded' rear quarter is the main issue, but both wings and other bits need some attention.

    I think faded yellow was a factory option?
    One thing with mine it's at least it's faded all over, so you don't really notice

    sounds good! I was wondering whether to do something the air filter on mine. Those panel filters look massive anyway tho. Could be worth it just for the sound (not the raspberry )

    I'm not sure about dump valves.......I like the recirc type

    It's not very good even on my PC TBH. I downloaded it through Photobucket, and it's very jerky on mine.

    I have a BSR Optiflow kit on my V70 R, but the sound from the 'kit' on the Gul makes a lot more noise, or at least it seems like it.

    My favourite kit is the BSR Optiflow one with blanking plate. I paid £100 directly from BSR for the full kit. This is mine on my R.
