Good start mate, what exhaust did you get? Oh and Ford didn't fit a big spoiler on the back of the Cossie so you could dry your chamois on it.

My word, that LFC 3dr is pretty much my dream car. Very nice.

Fitted a Bosal standard thingy in the end although it is crap

Should have taken it down to Graeme`s for a proper system

3 door spoiler is perfect for chamois drying

It was always mine too so when I had the chance it was a no brainer

In theory it should be the first car I don`t lose money on if I ever (unlikely) sell it!

[T5RatherAmusin]

i see youve got half the surround to get in in, ive got my hole surround in with the actual player modifed

[rikcougar]

Front bumper lower half is split, rear has a faint crease in it and bumper is gouged

Want to replace them to tidy it up and then get a bit of paintwork done

Dropped a valve seat, I think I over revved it bringing it home, went from 2nd to 1st instead of 3rd!

Engine went bang two days later on the bypass giving it some!

i hope you live right outside that garage door mate with that in there

[graemewelch]

a R bumper on a t5 is just so wrong. not into this look alike stuff. its like buying a 1.0 ltr saxo and fitting a vtr bodykit and wheels. its still a t5 at end of the day

It`s a lot more secure than it looks Frankie and one of our cars is always parked a foot away from the door

If we were discussing classics Graeme like Cossie vs RS500 I would agree with you regarding look alikes but at the end of the day they are old Volvos and if I think the R bumper looks better then I don`t see a problem. I have no intention of making an R look alike, if I wanted an R I would go and buy one, this one`s the daily so I just want it to look nice and tidy

Really like white s60s.

Leather interior has arrived

One slight problem - listing stated manual adjustment, drivers is electric!

Is the wiring likely to be there unused somewhere or will I need to get my local car sparks to have a look at it?
