Think the 8 ball has reached its pinacle, and is now heading back downhill.

First backward step: revert to steels.

Sad face.

The mudflaps are a bit poor as well, having been down there and looked around closely for the first time ever.
May have to invest in a new set once the financial sun comes out again.

I think it needs raising now ;-)

Have you still got the Volvo centre caps? If you fit those back it'd look a bit better, also with chrome surrounds which were on the bay quite cheaply recently, maybe they still are, need to check ...

EDIT: ended now, these were the ones:

Mudflaps: I'm after a full (new) set myself, shall I keep an eye out for you too?

Hi Tom. Ive got the centre caps still yeah.
I got one wheel half off tonight and it started raining.
I thought, 'ive started so i'll finish!'
So I did the lot, got wet, p!ssed off and came in and saw the centre caps on the table.
Yeah, i'll do them tomorrow.

I thought. After swearing some swear words in my head.

Yeah Tom, If you spy a set of nice flaps (easy tiger) i'll deff take a set.
If you can find two that is!

are they generic, or 340/360 specific does anyone know?

Cheers for the comments lads.

Tell you whats odd. Every day for about a fortnight, a bird (not the same one, i hope) has pooped on my car. without fail.
Ive washed it off every time, but they nail the fecker again every single time.
Havnt missed a day. (current badge of dishonor shown beneath petrol cap.)

Im starting to wish i'd never p!ssed on that church now.

Im sure someone up there is plagueing me.

Is there a plague of regular bird poopings anywhere in the bible anyone?
:(

I'm pretty sure I have a set, will confirm later in the week - you can have them gratis, but will you need to pay the Royal Mail at cost. Will probably be 10-15 quid, will let you know when I post them if you want them.

Wow cheers mate.
Are they much of an improvement do you recon chris?
Dont supose you have any pics already up somewhere?
Of theyre cool and surplus to requirements i think id give them a good home.
Even better if they need a refurb.
Looking for something to do in that respect.

Not a priority tho.

Those would be the same as what was on there originally. An upgrade would be the chrome trim which goes around the rim of the wheel - but can't find a pic of those ATM. Steve may have had a set somewhere ...

I'll get your car "chromed-up" yet, VND ;-)
