Ali · Dec 1, 2005

I'd colour code it with the car fella...nice blue. then mayb polish the volvo turbo intercooler bit?

Guy · Dec 1, 2005

Djw Dave · Dec 1, 2005

It came from a 480t. Its not a stright fit. Mounts are a pain in the a$$ but it will all be worth it!

Jonaldinho · Dec 1, 2005

Looks awesome mate, can't wait to see the finished article. :approve:

_Kenny_ · Dec 1, 2005

Should be great when it's all done. I agree with Ali - go with blue. Consistency is key!

ChrisE · Dec 1, 2005

Shud be Very Quick, to say the least!!

Djw John · Dec 1, 2005

Wow, Ali makes a good point!! I reckon thats the way forward as well.
