[quote=Jim S70R;423462]Because the halfords mess ones look s**t!!![/quote] Maybe that's a tad harsh, they don't suit every car.
Merc you need to change your profile picture now, new grill n all lol.
[quote=Jim S70R;423470]Maybe that's a tad harsh, they don't suit ever car.[/quote] on my old 850 t5-r i had a eggcrate grill looked pretty good on that car
Jim you are right fella goin to get some quotes in a couple of weeks as I got a bit of rust on a arch that needs sorting aswell ggggggggggrrrrr
[quote=t5frankie;423475]on my old 850 t5-r i had a eggcrate grill looked pretty good on that car[/quote] Not that I'm biased or anything but I really like the egg crate type grills, I'm trying to get my brother to get one for his, suits the 850's really well.
[quote=t5frankie;423475]on my old 850 t5-r i had a eggcrate grill looked pretty good on that car[/quote] Egg crates don't look too bad on the 850 tbh I quite like them...

[quote=bigrotch;423479]Jim you are right fella goin to get some quotes in a couple of weeks as I got a bit of rust on a arch that needs sorting aswell ggggggggggrrrrr[/quote] They cost the earth but you've got to love them!! That will finish yours off nicely on the outside.

Merc & BR both your cars look lovely, your clearly part timers though as your out taking pictures of your cars during the day on a week day... lol
Definately think the refitment of your original grille has made an improvement to the look of your car Merc, tbh I think I'd go as far to say the original grille is the best suited to the 850's front end as even I tried changing mine for a little while, well 1 day at least...
I hated it so reverted back to the original the next day... lol

Guy's I think Frankie and a few of the guys here might well hand you your arses if you ever go to a 1/4 mile event, I can see videos being posted everyday for the next year proving it as well... lol
untill then mines faster pmsl
[quote=AndysR;423677]Dyno figures are pub talk and worth nothing when the green light illuminates.. ;)[/quote] Thats 100% correct andy, But frankie said ive nothing to compare 850 with? i've never drag'd my Merc, or my freinds Cupra. So because iv'e never drag'd my Volvo i thought i could compare it to the above?

Just remember theres gonna be some very quick cars next year. I can see a quite a few doing sub 14s and with some luck maybe even sub 13s.
come on andy keep with fella lol
[quote=AndysR;423690]That's fair play, but in the Volvo world it's a whole different ball game :)[/quote] i dunno, i reckon trying to get a 290bhp Cupra off the line is just as hard as getting a ???bhp t5 off the line. NOW me racing against some of these fine people on here at a 1/4 mile drag event is a Different kettle of fish. And yes I may well get my ass handed to me, But i still reckon cus MINES RED, i stand a Good chance lmfao
sub 14s - sub 13s thats ****ing crazy times
we all know reds best peeps come on keep with the program lol
[quote=bigrotch;423695]sub 14s - sub 13s thats ****ing crazy times[/quote] From reading what people are doing with the cars, there should be plenty of sub 14s. Under 13 will be difficult in a fwd car, but i wouldn't be surprised if it gets broken next year.
Anyway rotch as i was Saying it was a good Meet today wernt it lmfao
