Ok,here is my weekend plan:
- installing my K-Sport big brake kit
- 17" Volvo Arcadias
- Forge blanking plate
I already have a Bailey blow off valve fitted,but I have not fitted the blanking plate yet.This job looks like a bit PITA as the oem dump valve is hidden so well.I hope the sound is gonna be a bit more agressive as it's so "girly" right now.
-MBC( boost gauge already fitted)

I will post some pics when i got everything fitted.

Then a tried to get the electric aerial all the way down but ended up pulling the insides of it out - don't ask me how. Now where's the thread on how to replace the aerial ......

Found a big crack in my grill.

Took it off and super glued it. Looks good as new now and saved myself £70

Oil change and fixed (another) blown bulb in the tailgate on the wifes V40, at weekend it's getting LED's in the rear lights to try and reduce the number of bulbs it goes through especially in the tailgate lights - Mike
