Looking very good, some amount of work has went into it! :thumbs up: Is that i all parked up for the winter? Noticed you removed some stuff on the car in which makes it look all the better. Am I right in saying you have removed the silver line round the bonnet scoop, removed the vinyl at the back of the number plate and removed the side markers?

P.S what did you use to cover up the arch reflectors on the bumpers?

Cheers

The chap I bought the GP from removed the bits you are talking about:thumbs up:ryan, he bought another set of orange markers and
got the sprayed thunder blue (I still have the original ones) he also
debadged the boot, but I didn't like that so I put them back on:yes nod:.
It has now done 2000 miles, I will use it though the winter but only on good days, will use VOLVIC (orange sportspack) as my everyday car now..

I've moved this thread to the Car Care forum, as it seems a more suitable place for it.

Volvic, if you wanna add these pics to your existing Gallery Showcase thread, feel free to do so.
