I saw a post about it on the Volvo Forum so thought I'd ask here as a lot of you guys were over there

That was us! I was in the yellow "Jagerbomber" M3, the Volvo and the VXR were our group.

here she is:





Under the white vinyl she's actually dark blue - she was SOTW on here a while back. The owner is a PHer too so I won't steal his thunder by posting too many more details.

When I bought my old White 850T5 the previous owner had bought the same complete decal kit and left it in the boot (he never got round to fitting it)

he asked if I wanted them FOC...I said no thanks as I thought they'd look awful on it on the road..so he kept them


I think I was wrong, that looks great cool

saw it parked up at the L'Eclerc in Alencon on Thursday - looked fantastic, not least as I worked with TWR for a while supporting their BTCC cars - brought back some good memories smile

Cheers guys, I'm glad some of you appreciated the effort this year.

Took myself and one or two others about 5 days spread over 2 weeks to do. All done in our front garden with the aid of Jack FM.

I have a small album with some before and after shots here: (if you're interested)

Now the question of when to take the vinyl off... It's going to be a long old job. frown

Don't take it off till it falls off, it looks awesome.

For me is was the best stickered up car on the trip, and that's saying something. I didn't get to see it but hopefully will see it next year (as obviously the stickers will still be on as you'd be mad to remove them wink)

As mentioned.





Keep the stickers on, just get some 18/19 inch rims and slam it for the full effect on next year's trip wink

Leave it like that, just get some proper race replica wheels.



Actually looking at the wheels you have on it, leave them alone they look close enough smile

Still in with a shout ..... Although im leaning more towards a C70 T5 if I go for a Volvo of somesort...... Worryingly easy to get to 300bhp scratchchin
