Volvo Virgin - But a good car to start with

Shrekkie · Apr 30th, 2006, 11:08

Greetings one and all, I have finally got myself my first Volvo. A C70 coupe in Saffron Pearl or as the missus calls it, sunburst orange.
Spent the last 9yrs driving Honda's as I work at the factory I leased one each year, and no i'm at the point I hate the cars with a passion, so had to get something for my own. Something sleek and sexy and fell in love with the C70 soon as I saw it. Only about a week before I pick it up (waiting on the bank transfer to go through) and already looking at some new alloys, maybe some Wolfrace 17" or 18" not sure which would go best yet. Any info on how to keep the new girl sorted would be helpful.

cheers guys.

Good to have you with us, and you are not too far to come to the meets in Langley/Iver.

thanks, just in preperation to get myself some 18" Wolfrace Kyoto alloys in black which would look stunning with the Saffron pearl paint.

Volvos look their best with OEM wheels and not aftermarket ones.

if you must go non-OEM then may I suggest you check out some of the replicas. www.rochfordtyres.co.uk are a good place to start
