    Great thread and a lovely car, it's a credit to you. Steadily restoring mine after 10 years of sturling service, not in your league though.

    Thanks for the update, your car is looking lovely by the way, the ABM headlights really work nicely on silver cars, have you done anything to the rear lights...?

    Our rears are currently standard, but the Mrs's does want to change or do something with them, I'm thinking of tinting a spare set of rears to give a similar look to the fronts.

    Swapped over to from Nebula to my winter wheels. Decided to get the original 17" satellite alloys refurbished in lamborghini bronze metallic with a satin lacquer, and ive protected them with a couple of layers of @siramik_glasscoat ceramic wheel coating.

    Also as my radiator had decided to start leaking I thought it was time to finally get my new upgraded aluminium intercooler fitted as well as a new radiator and original Volvo lamba sensor too.
