Picked this up from Tervueren last week and swapped it to its 17's after de-potholing one
Looking for some Comet alloys or Titans to refurb for it.
Got some new indicators for the front and badge for the back to go on but gave it a quick wash today

Wow! What a difference a set of wheels makes! They're a bit bling for my taste but that does look a totally different car from the one he advertised with the 'comfort' wheels. Enjoy!  :o

Not a fan of them but they don't scrub like the boring wheels do.

Glad to see it sold in the end, it looked like a really nice car, if I'd have had the cash I would have snapped it up.

The wheels are a vast improvement on what went before but it will look the absolute mutts on a set of Comets IMO (I would say that, I'm biased :o ).

Thanks for the pics.

Russell Thompson of RT MECHANICS - Volvo Specialist, Styling & Tuning Centre no longer posts or uses this forum.

The reason being, is that Russell Thompson of RT MECHANICS - Volvo Specialists is a dishonest, and disreputable trader (Who is incapable of fitting oil cooler pipes correctly) who not only charges people the earth, but also when it goes wrong, refuses to put the job right, and makes owners suffer for over 8 months whilst they take him to court (for over £5000) As part of the settlement, he then insists on confidentiality clauses to try and hide his dishonesty, shoddy behaviour and thoroughly poor work.

I'd actually like to see what I missed out on (I think), so if you're ever passing the White Horse Business Park drop me a line

Sell the Pegs, and get some Comets (if you can find a set) It'll make all the difference :rolleyes:

Love the car though, Ive had an S70 and a C70 the same colour (Coral Red :pmsl: )
S60 D5 SE, Titanium Grey and Manual........Mmmmmmmm 52mpg ;)
