No Dave I'm wrong, just checked on my maintenance history and looked back at my photo's, those photo's were taken in August 2016, so it will be fours years this August, my how time flies !

If i'd been asked i would have said 3 years so we're both wrong!

I know last year was a blur so add that in and it makes 4 years. I suppose............

Each to our own choice, but no reason at all why your grey door cards shouldn't go with your black dash, I think it looks just fine on mine, although many a time I think of colouring the lower half of my dash in grey to suit my door cards etc and leave the dash top black, I have plenty of the stuff left has I bought too much, just a thought ! I'm also considering repainting my wheels in body colour just leaving the outer rim to the tyre in silver, again just a thought. David

Silver wheels only for me I'm afraid

It might be a bit over the top to do your dash as well David - if you could buy some cheap material (or even self-adhesive film) the right colour then you could try it before you do it.

Couple of options there to try it, at least you can peel it off if you don't like it and nothing permanent done.



With the wheels, i think body colour would definitely be too much - on a light coloured car it would almost certainly work but with yours being dark, get a bit of brake dust on them and they'd look like the tyres.

Given all the work you put into doing the wheels, i'd say it would be a shame to paint them body colour and then decide you don't like it.

Got my front struts built up today ( B4's and Lesjofors 40mm lowered springs )Also got my new Volvo rubber bushes pressed into my strut rods and control arms.

Box of goodies





New strut mounts washers and bearings








Refurbed struts





Test run for lowered springs


1st one on before tightening



Refurbed strut rods and control arms



And the finished job. I forgot to tuck the bump stops into the rubber seat at the top of the spring so I'm going to try and push it in with a plastic trim lever or flat head screwdriver

Some fantastic work there Mark!

Finally got my Galaxy wheels with new Bridgestone tyres fitted today








I know I'm biased but I think they look sweet

Exterior wise I still have roof spoiler to fit and some bits and pieces of paint to tidy up and I'm pretty much there

Wheels look awesome!

It's a good thing you whatsapped me those pics Mark or I wouldn't be able to see them on those teeny weeny pics... one day you will work it out I'll be quiet now.
