Gainzy Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Soooo I upgraded from my silver sportif for something a lot more updated, safe and spacious. It's the V50 Rspec 2.0 diesel with alot of extra's in all the right place's. It's such a nice car to be in I really like it! Quote

Gainzy Posted September 17, 2019 Author Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Little bit spec:- HID's Super chipped 18inch alloys Toyo tyres Window tints all round 6 speed box Optional spoiler, skirts, front lip, rear bumper Half leather Tow bar with electric connections Cargo net and boot cover Wind deflectors I bagged it for a local bargain I looked everywhere. I really wanted a T5 but I couldn't justify the tax and mpg. The actual thing that surprised me is the sound system it has like a centre optional dash speaker it's absolute class!

Calum122 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 More pics pleased. Volvo have just been a company that always stands out to me. As well as Saab. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't Volvos super reliable? Quote

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't Volvos super reliable? I actually need to take a lot more I have not long had it I will hoy some more when I get a chance. I honestly can't fault it, I looked into Saab heard good things aswell as the diesel accords 2.2's and almost bought a quattro A4 after a test drive. They say the volvo is one of the best cars on the road...there's the new V70, I have seen a black one kicking around they look super slick. I don't want to go too far with this but if something was to brake it's getting the best upgrade ha Quote
Gainzy Posted December 28, 2019 Author Posted December 28, 2019 Had the wheels powder coated hyper silver and TOYO tires fitted. Quote
akyakapotter Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Good solid daily that mile muncher. Quote

Get alot of car for the price's! I really liked the Forrester but they do a fair 7k for a decent one. It's not buying it, it's running them. The mpg on these is really good for a big car. Quote
Gainzy Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Optional cargo net was a good find, saved £40. That's pretty much all I'm going for optional wise. I have a tow ball fitted on the back. If I get can get a hold of a trailer I'll be able to tow the V around lmao. Edited January 5, 2020 by Gainzy Quote
Gainzy Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) The air must be rammed of course. Edited February 1, 2020 by Gainzy Quote
Nanglebadger Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Only just spotting this now like a tit - apologies. Liking this alot! My brother had a V50 a few years back, and he and I both now have V60s. He has converted me to the Swedespeed way of life! His is the big 5 cylinder D5, mine is a 2016 D4 R Design and I have to say, I'm bsolutely obsessedwith it! Fantastic cars, I can see me sticking with Volvos for a while! ANd of course, plenty of optional hunting being done here too lol! Keep up the great work on this one bud and keep us posted! Phil. Quote
