Hi D8nno

Welcome looks like you are into the modifiy game already good luck with your project :angry:


Russ
Russell Thompson of RT MECHANICS - Volvo Specialist, Styling & Tuning Centre no longer posts or uses this forum.

The reason being, is that Russell Thompson of RT MECHANICS - Volvo Specialists is a dishonest, and disreputable trader (Who is incapable of fitting oil cooler pipes correctly) who not only charges people the earth, but also when it goes wrong, refuses to put the job right, and makes owners suffer for over 8 months whilst they take him to court (for over £5000) As part of the settlement, he then insists on confidentiality clauses to try and hide his dishonesty, shoddy behaviour and thoroughly poor work.

i like it so far. there is one thing though that really sticks out to me and it's something i absolutely hate.............. it's your nuts ;)

get some black covers or something cos the chrome really stands out and brings the look down imho.
