You could do something really radical and keep it standard.....

Miserable gits
Let's not scare away the noobs now.
Danny, think about if you are really serious before potentially ruining a nice car. The big question is: Are you going to get bored and sell it in 6 months? I've done lots of mods to mine but that's only because I know I'll probably never sell it (unless I'm forced by the tax man at gunpoint). There have been many tidy examples ruined, not just volvos mind, classic cars too. Take a wander over to Retro Rides and you'll see daily examples of both well modified and ratted out cars. This is why a fair few of us are bitter when someone buys a 340 because their mate told them it would be amazing for drifting, sprays the bonnet black, nails it into a lamp post and then tries to sell it for 50% profit. Not that you are deffinatly one of these people but it's easy to be prejudice on the internet

I do have a contact 20 miles away in High Wycombe, but no trailer there. I driving off the boat tonight to get to Carlisle. Tow car there, but trailer wants unloading.
I'll go halvers if you buy the matt black cans for the bonnet, but the T.O.G.S. sticker has to stay

I was thinking more of some housepaint and brush mate.
Youre obviously a serious modder. Too technical for me.
