Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

A worthy friend for any 480? Don't worry not for mine! I've bought some new wheels and I promise these are very appropriate! Also managed to finally scrape some monies together for a dslr I spotted for sale in Hereford on eBay so expect many pics to come... And yes, my Photobucket seems to have kil...

Re: front spolier and alloy wheels wanted

You'll have to measure the centre bore of the wheels you're getting/ask the seller, and find the right rings for these cars which have a cb of 52.1mm.

Soooo... you'll need rings measuring (measured size of new wheels)--to--52.1mm.

Re: front spolier and alloy wheels wanted

Nice one ;) Is that with delivery?

Can't wait to see a pic with them fitted!

There is a chap who reproduces front spoilers.

Most used spoilers are broken, like mine! :cry:

Re: front spolier and alloy wheels wanted

Also, the tyres on those wheels are 195/45 16 so they have a near identical circumference to what is a typical size these cars have on their 15s.

Re: front spolier and alloy wheels wanted

Well obviously you'd need different tyres but they're included :D

You could expect £150-200 for some really good Vesas, maybe a touch more to the right person.

Re: front spolier and alloy wheels wanted

I spotted these OZ Superturismos below on eBay the other week, they were listed before for £300 plus postage but then they put the price up? They'll go straight on with spigot rings. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-OZ-RACING-ALLOYS-4-X-100PCD-FITS-MINI-VAUXHALL-TOYOTA-RENAULT-HONDA-MAZDA-/200905417108?...

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

The first time I drove the car at night with the LEDs I could notice the difference as soon as I turned the ignition on! The DRLs are actually lights now! Still wish I had some good units mind but they're bloody expensive. Sold the RH Wheels I had before so I'm now hunting for something special as I...

Thank you for that Tim, they do indeed seem good value. Might have to message them to see if there's a deal to be done on a full set :D

I love the idea of a x40 T4 in a 480, been thinking about it for a long time!

Uprated Shocks?

Hey all! I plan to fit some 30mm lowering springs in the near future but I'm wondering if anywhere still stocks good value uprated shocks? I can get a set of 4 Blistein B4 Shocks which are OE spec. All I can find are KONi Yellows but they're so expensive! Well they are on partsforvolvo anyway! Anyon...

Re: I like big butts and I cannot lie...

Let me guess Steve, it's Dark Green or Dark Blue?

And yeah, sounds like a good buy. I'd have one as a runaround if needed :)

Edit: The other late 'Limited Edition' model was the LE, that one was really just a badge to sell of the last of them!

I know what you mean guys, the amount of time people end up relisting their cars is almost unreal!
Why do people even bother bidding if they can't pay?!

Ugly? No. Boring? Yes! And a turbo? Bloody rare! I'd still have one mind! :lol: Up until a few days ago Steve I did have a 1996 brochure for the GS Limited Edition and a different one which I forgot the name of!
