Brimfull's 2009 V50 T5 SE R-Design
6 Attachment(s)
A few snaps of my newly acquired T5, I spent yesterday restoring the headlights due to clouding over.
I then gave her a wash using Powermaxed Shampoo followed by a coat of Auto-Glym Super resin polish (not my personnel favorite but the only polish I have that is suitable for light-colored paint) and finally topped up with some Chemical Guys butter-wet wax. Only found a handful of marks that need some touching up so will hopefully get around next week in getting some quotes to have the marks sorted out. Overall not bad for a 12-year-old car with close to 140k miles on the clock. Attachment 134226 Attachment 134227 Attachment 134228 Attachment 134229 Attachment 134230 Attachment 134231 |
Looks nice pal, glad you finally found one!

That bonnet fitment looks a bit off? :tounge_smile:
Looks good I think, very good for a 12yr old car, and that engine is pretty special :regular_smile: At some point I'd get a new R Design badge for the grille and maybe redo the wheels in a lighter shade (personal pref) but that aside looks a lovely motor and hope it serves you well :cool: |

The gunmetal grey wheels are here to stay I am afraid as Silver wheels on a silver car look too bland and I have never been a fan of black wheels on any colour car so this colour is good compromise for me. I am hoping to keep this car for a while as its a bit of a memory of my old man as he was big Volvo fan and loved his T5 although he stopped buying Volvo after his S70R. |
looked good (while the pics were there)
and was the bonnet open when you snapped the pics ,, or is it as mark suggest a little odd in its alignment ? |

The bonnet was unlocked when I took the picture that's why it is sitting a little high :teeth_smile::teeth_smile::teeth_smile: |

Sorted out my first little repair job this morning, previous owner had by the look of things tried to remove the mirror glass in order to replace a blown blub and was a little heavy-handed with the glass.
Second-hand sun visor purchased and the mirror glass slowly and very carefully extracted. New bulb and replacement mirror fitted to the existing visor. Attachment 134315 Attachment 134316 |
Hello! :teeth_smile:
Nice satisfying repair there! Hows the headlining condition in your V50? |
Quote:
The headlining is spot on, with no marks stains, or sagging. The boot is spotless I don't think it's been used much. I have replaced the front washer jets as the driver-side one was missing most of the window and as they are the fan type of spray which I believe cannot be adjusted. The ones I bought cost £5 off eBay and to be honest they are awful, so I have just ordered a pair of genuine Volvo ones for £27!!!! |
