MC Wong Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hello There,Firstly I would like to say you have a really nice car. I am new to this forum even though I have owned our stock 850R since 96. I was wondering where I can get those headlights of yours and how much will it cost? I live in Queensland Australia so we rarely get anyone here who modifies Volvo's. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_R Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Raf, is that caliper bronze?No, there semi-gloss black but they have a little gold like metallic flake, can only be seen by pictures due to the flash, weird. I didn't notice it, till I took the picture.I refinshed the calipers myself, was tought at first because the paint reacted (cracked) several times after scrubbing them. Found out that simple green for some reason was reacting with the paint catalyst, decided to use normal soap and they came out decent. I will probably remove the calipers in the winter for round six I just want this thing done/tuned by next month.MCWONG- Welcome to the forum and thank you for the kind remarks. Contact Boomin850 on this forum, he's done several lamps for board members. Mike does awesome work Raf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
