Just saying hello!! T4 track car - Page 3

Just a quick update on the MRG Volvo situation. I was very happy to be contacted by them today. We had a good conversation.

Like i said before we all make mistakes, and i have found the customer service to be top class, which often alot of other garages are not.

I will be returning to MRG again :-)

[QUOTE=Ross Parker;1108264]Also acuired a Carbonfibre spoiler from work, its from an Aston martin and it fits pritty well. But being on the Aston website at £1000 retail im not sure to fit it or not?

I would sell it without question! Its not going to do anything for your car except slow it down :-)

no spoiler is staying off, i did consider taking the original off too but im not sure what it would look like.

I cant really sell the carbon one.

I'm liking how this is coming along. How about the indicator bezels being sprayed black too? And maybe a raised bonnet? And flat wiper blades? Then it would be looking MEAN!

Next month I have a session at the action day at Combe, so next up:

. Purchased some medium compound tarmac rally tyres for the front
. Get wheel alignment and tracking done with the new coilovers
. Lower the front another 10mm or so
. Blue anodised wheel nuts
. Number plates

Incidators are on my list as the ones i have i stone chipped :-(

thanks
Ross

Ross

Why not sell it and spend the grand on more mods?

The problem is i work for Prodrive who made the spoiler, because i was given it and aton martin have owners rights, if im caught selling it i could loose my job. so not worth it really.
