glowbug wrote:D V ent850r , yours looks like its about ready to cause trouble, and the black hood grille, totally adds to the car. I like it, I always had a eye for the wagon but the black sedan or yellow, I would jump on one tomorrow. If the price is right of course ...
Thanks it does intimidate some people on the road! The grill came out nice not too perfect up close the slash is light blue and yellow Swedish flag colors. Had to hand paint and I do not have steady hands! Image
But it's good for now! The wheels were on it when I got it. Would like to find some Volans or maybe do some Titans later on! We'll see!

I know I'm a little late to the party.

Here's my winter beater (which I've been daily driving for the last month or so just because). This is after a few hours with the PC7424 and a lot of Meguiar's products :D The paint isn't in great condition but for 232,300 miles, it isn't too bad. My wife reminded me regularly, "it's just your winter car..." I've spent more time washing and waxing the R in the 2 months or so of ownership than I have my last two Jeeps.

I'm going to paint the bumper trim and get the wheels refinished. One of the wheels was repaired at the color is a bit off :?

Major upgrades:
ARD Green
RSI head port and polish
S60R exhaust manifold
302mm front brakes
Eibachs and Koni FSD

The hood wasn't latched so it is 'up' a bit.

86k miles so far, I am the 2nd owner. Just bought it a few months ago. So far bone stock except my home made intake that sounds good and looks ok. I am going to remake it using the template with better materials and the correct tools. I love this car!
