Hi guys,

I've been jealously looking at the cars in the gallery and have spotted some bits that I'd like to obtain.

The lip above the air intake at the base of the windscreen, presumably that's an aftermarket part?

A rear spoiler suitable for a 3 door. How are they attached? Bonded in place?

Lowering springs for the front and lowering blocks for the rear.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be eternally grateful. 8)

The bonnet vent is called a snowcap, they wern't known in the UK till 12 months ago... now there are quite a few around and come up every so often, else you'll need to bribe a European dude ;)

I think (I'll soon be corrected) that the spoiler for a mk3 is the same for a 3 or a 5 door, and these are really common, keep an eye out in your local scrappy. 5 bolts and silicon hold it on, but be choosey, and get one that the outer coating hasn't started peeling (anyone have a good way to restore these?)

Lowering blocks and springs, give Dai a call, his login on here is Classicswede, look up his profile and send him an email, much quicker responses that way!

Hope thats of some use

I haven't seen a 300 series Volvo in a scrapyard for years.

for scrappies, i find if its big its best to visit in person - the ones round here normally fail to notice if they have a 300 in stock or not :|
