Needs to be modified and I believe it can still protrude from the bumper nose cone.

Painting the verticals was a no brainer for me, as I had all the gear in the shed. 👍🏻

There are several cm differences and the points of attachment are different which mean that you have to "fettle" it to make it fit...if you want one - happy to send you the one I bought for £10 + the P&P @ about £3.20 or so

I always wondered about fitting a complete S60 nose cone on my V70, but chances are I'll not bother - too much real work to do on the car, without inventing more jobs!

Given the terrible news about my CEM I called my mechanic to check the car has not been stolen:

"Mate, they only steal cars round 'ere that work...lol." Funny guy my mechanic - he should be on the stage.

So, walking round feeling a bit sorry for myself chain-smoking to get rid of my hangover from last night. Knock on the door...

..."Delivery for Mr O'Connor."

I feverishly unpacked my latest eBay purchase - a Panasonic HC-V720 camcorder. I've managed to set the correct time and date and have been getting used to filming all kinds of things.

Germany in June - I'm off filming castles and stuff whilst my Volvo is getting upgraded

I pressed out the rear bushing and cut out the front one. Took a bit of time so as not to cut into the aluminium of the arm, but worth the effort imo.
