340 bumpers are two a penny...definitely want one? Not sure of the price until I get it, but should be well under £30 - probably 10-20. I can bring it to the meet...

cheers

Yep, I have one, at the moment on my car, but not for long!!! Foggy would be able to get you one quicker I should imagine, but I won't want anything except postage for mine, I've nowhere to store it

Get it off in time for the meet if you can Chris - free will probably work out cheaper ;). I'm obviously going to have to charge for mine, as I'd have to pay for it, plus a little beer money for the time/petrol going to get it...

cheers

I dont mind paying for stuff so Chris as you offered first, and you need the space ,if you can bring it to the meet I will have yours on the condition you let me pay for it .
Please let me know if you can swap your bumpers in time to bring your old one to the meet as if you cant, I will get Foggy to get me one ,
our local scrappy dosnt keep volvo 300's they crush them as soon as they come in bas*+$ds.
Just to be clear its the textured effect one that I need that takes the thin coloured or chrome strip . thanks to you both for the help.

I haven't seen many 300s in scrapyards around here either really (one or two) over the last 6 months. I went to one on Tuesday as I was in the area, asked the owner and he said he doesn't get many in - had actually owned one himself and said they were great, and a future classic!

Great news that you've managed to get all the parts for your redline, its far too nice to have been written off!

I'll probably go toward the end of next week, so you've got a few days Chris. Let us know one way or the other by Wednesday to be safe :)

Sorry guys, I can't get my white one off the Island before the weekend. Got called away this last weekend so couldn't go and get it. I'll let you try and get one James. Sorry Redline!

I'll see what I can do! I'll let you know in advance either way, and if I get it, I'll bring it to the meet.

Chris - yeah, bring cash (half?), and I'll bring the temp gauge & bits.

cheers
