Really liking the look of that mate, like the way everything is kind of keeping to the original Volvo R sport scheme, glad that interior plastic has gone gunmetal too and i'd always wanted to see what all red rears would look like, bloody good! Skirts should look sweet finished aswell, make it all come together nicely! Hows the engine build going?

Yeah me too Beat me to it... !

Get a room!l Yes beating you will give you a red rear !

[classicswede]

The all red rear lights do look good - best one either a red or black car

The car does keep getting better and better - rust is such a pain and will spread where you dont want it. I never relised how bad it was on your car tbh.

Looking good keep up the top work.

Beautiful work as always, Adam.

Digging the change in dash trim - was never very sure about the red! Will you be changing the clocks to match too?

All red tail lights are the bollocks - how did you do it?

[Chris_C]

All red looks sweet, how do you intend to get the reversers sorted though? I've never seen coloured clusters that have a white light come through them...

Having said that, apart from my rally car (where as much light backwards as poss is needed), I think I'd stop caring if it looked like that

[340GLT]

More pics ans some sneaky pics of future plans!!!
Adam

Oh red lights are purely tint spray then flat and polished. I could prob start to supply these if people wanted? And whats wrong with red reversing lights chris?

[sven360]

Busy like a beaver

What sort of tin can will your car be sporting under the hood in '07?

[340GLT]

A French DOHC!!! might be tweaked a bit!!

looking damn nice! good work mate keep it up.

in response to that guy saying he hasnt seen coloured clusters with white light coming through - have you seen the punto mk2 rear clusters (on the 5dr)??? all red, but one lets white light through...

[Chris_C]

You'd know the problem if you'd tried to reverse at pace down a narrow lane in the pitch dark Adam

And AMR, you are right, but it does give a redish tint to the diffused light, which is fine when people are only seeing if you have your reversing lights on, but naff all use to use as a light to drive by (maybe if my nav stopped making mistakes, it'd be better!)

But for a stock road car, it really doesn't matter, and they do look sweet as!
