ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

Post by redline »

Hi guys , what mods would you like for your cars ?
I have just been going through the pictures of members cars and came up with the following
1)The door strips with the red stripe from volvo 360gl b200k's car(89glt)
2)the steering wheel from fuses car or the one from that 300r sport special
3) the gorgeous little spoiler at the top of the hatchback on Julios from cyprus's car ( which I have only just spotted )and his front fogs panel
4)blade from Norways alloys (and spotlight brackets LOL)
5)Ivan 141's bonnet vent cover (or fuse's or 1st's I dont mind ) These all seem to be on our Finnish members cars unless I am mistaken )
6) chris_c's sunroof ( coz it works )
7) oh and a new head unit and boot install
Thank you santa and I promise to be good !!!

Intercooler
Cash for complete turbo checking (new bearings etc...)
Chromed intercooler piping

Those are the main ones. Of course there are also always many smaller things. :P

I'll be actually taking the car to turbo shop around the christmas. :P
Intercooler I think i'll get at the next summer. I have more spare time at then.. I'll have my matriculation examinations at the spring so if i'll get through 'em nicely I think I'll buy it for my self as a gift. :D

1. Doors that open
2. Boot that shuts, stays shut and is lockable
3. Me to get my ass in gear and start building my in car computer (will be an MP3 player and GPS, primarily)
4. A slightly better sound system than the original footwell mounted 'Volvo Sound' speakers (Using a Clarion 4x45w stereo, but that doesn't help the 'Volvo Sound' speakers produce anything lower than about 5000Hz :P)

I wouldn't mind a new drivers seat and for someone to clean out the mud in the back from carrying mountain bikes.
