Never seen a driver's seat in cream with NO wear on the bolster, rest of the interior is just as good :)

Doesn't look much like a V70 in that colour, more like an 850. lol
Does look good with the volans on.

If the 850 just has one lambda, how is the race cat gonna work considering the v70 has two?

Got a little thingy/adaptor(tech term) to put into the exhaust to hold the 2nd lamba.

Looking very nice mate. The wheels really suite the colour of the car.

25 quid? bloody hell! was that mates-rates? where did you have it done?
On second thoughts, I got ameltheas, very kerb-able, especially when Mrs. MRP is driving ;)

Well done mate looks mint, as said above it looks more like an 850.
Not a patch on the daddy t5r on the drive though ;)

Looking really nice...

Always amazes me how much of a bargain these cars are - really cheap and worth every penny.
