What did you do to your x40 today??? - Page 790

Spetsnaz GSh · Mar 19th, 2015, 18:42

No, my S40 can't take all of that...

Cleaned the Arcadias, boy they were dirty and very hard to clean too.

Worth it though and fitted some new centre caps whilst I was at it.

Although they were non genuine ones so don't look that great imho.

Gave the old girl a wash and fitted the rear spats today.

Are they phase 2 mudguards mate looks good

how hard when I looked at it didn't look like the spat had anywhere to go if you know what I mean.

all phase one stuff used, a bit of trimming and job done. All screwed in nicely

Finally got the V40 back on the road after some crash damage, first time driven on the road in 2 months. Although it has a slightly dented wing and at the moment as well as a different colour bonnet and bumper but just happy to drive it.

Now just need to tidy a few things up as my hire car goes back end of next week. Photos to follow tomorrow with any luck. But feeling very happy with my self, as insurance assessor reckoned £5500 to fix, so far cost £45 in welding, some free donor bits off my old car and a quite a few hours of my time to sort.

That's what would be described as fully loaded with lowered suspension.

I have a pair of these in the shed, waiting for me to get them painted and fitted.

Phase 1 mud guards is a good idea too!

It's lowered on H&R 30/25 springs and with all that weight in, it doesn't catch at all do it's completely usable still.

Exhaust is a custom made cut-back done by Pipetech.
