It looks ****ing horrible!!! Looks like it crashed into a halford's shop window! Who in their right mind would do such a thing?? Actually I've seen this before, it was featured on Top Gear's 'Carbage'.

If it crashed through Halford's window we were fortunate it missed the aisle where they stock the stick on the outside, rear window, plastic blind.
Now that ! That would finish off this little project nicely, or maybe he ran out of cash ???

I wonder if it's any easier to replace the DRL bulbs on those headlights ? Might be worth getting some

the work on "Klingon" was done by a company in Oxford called Mynheer engineering (they normally specialise in Rovers). I also remember reading somewhere its kicking out about 400bhp, but it would need t be with all that filler on it lol

FWIW I like the idea of the rear light clusters.
Otherwise it's rubbish.

Lots of questions and shaking of head. For instance, Why just go for the stick on side front spoilers rather than a proper Volvo Sport spec full one? Errr, because they're cheaper you think (FWIW was thinking of these for mine until I saw them on here ).

Hi,

Sort of looks like something I would get on my shoe, and would want to scrape it off immediately!!
