Brimfull's 2009 V50 T5 SE R-Design
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. 20210321_084926.jpg 20210321_084906.jpg 20210321_084915 (2).jpg 20210321_085015 (1).jpg 20210321_085022.jpg 20210321_084957.jpg

Cheers mate, when I started looking I didn't realise how far and few between the V50 T5 are.

That bonnet fitment looks a bit off?
Looks good I think, very good for a 12yr old car, and that engine is pretty special 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

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.

Looking good
Spotted this on AT yesterday, one of the nicest I've seen for quite a while, very reasonably priced but miles away in Scotland and Scottish cars do tend to deal with salty roads : https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-det...cation=at_cars

My new sat-nav discs arrived today, as the unit required a much updated version of maps. I updated the sat-nav system today using 2018 maps and firmware.
A very easy process to follow takes around 2-3 hours to install the product. Luckily the upload will pause if you turn the ignition off and will resume as soon as the ignition is switched back on unlike previous VW sat-nav units I have had to update.
