got home tonight to find a bottle of glipstone leather conditioner arrived(partsforvolvos 5.99) and being as i havnt been abducted due to my other thread "military-unseen", thought id av a go at conditioning the leather...
being a numpty,should've have took some before pics but will say i never realised how bad leather gets,i had some wear down the drivers seat bolster and has restored that and the deep smell of treated leather has returned!!!

Clearly, never! Seeing as most of the rubbish is on the floor. :saythat:

It also serves as a 2ltr bottle holder.

We use ours quite often for bottles, never used it for a bin though. That may change with the arrival of the little one. ;)

And it'll cost me less than 20 quid to change the situation... In fact I nearly did. I had 2 cans of dark anthracite in my hand and the wife said "what's that for?" "the wheels" I said, "don't bother" she said, "I quite like them now"
besides, they still annoy a lot of people so I may well keep them like that... or not...?

I'm sure with 20 quids worth of dark anthracite we could sort the interior of that S60R too..... :D

It's nice, just too "rich" in colour.
I like mine (plus I have more pockets in the backs of my seats)

There's extra heater buttons rather than your cheapy rotary dials, oh and there's an extra gear in the gearbox too. :D

Until it goes "crunch" then it's an extra gear, rolling out from under the car ;)

If one of mine goes crunch, I have 5 left, if one of yours goes crunch, your back to the 70's, driving a 4 speed car. :lol:

Who wants to tell Mr. Stribo what the M56LK gearbox will do in 5th?

Ya might get up the quarter quicker let's see how ya do on the mile ;)

The gearbox will do 190mph, unfortunately as you're a bit short on horses, the car won't.:wallbash::wallbash::doh:

You realise we've ruined another perfectly good thread with our arseing about pmsl.

I can't even give you stick about having a heavier car - I have a reinforced chassis - probably weighs more than yours rofl.
Remap soon ;) (well, November)

Your seats look really good Shane, if not orange enough.

This dash is identical to mine as is the interior. I too have extra deep pockets in the rear of the seats and small ones at the front. Comms pack and RTI fill in the gaps nicely.

Personally, I just love that interior BUT......straighten that god damn steering wheel before taking future photos. I'm not asking for too much am I....? :wtf:

I swear by Gliptone Leather products.....quality stuff.

That was a photo off google, as I didn't have one of our's to hand, hence the comms pack (which ours hasn't got). The interior in my sig is ours, aqlthough the wheel's not straight in that either.

Going back to the seat pockets, perhaps the V70s had 2 per seat and the S60s only had 1.

M-R-P
Thursday 21st June 2012, 21:27
yeah, I'd ditch the comms pack for the sake of the cup holder too lol.
how does having a big boot mean you get an extra seat pocket?
handy tho, you can carry loads of wine in them.

It would be like going back to the early 70's when they actually produced..brown cars! Accept a P1 Saffron with Atacama leather would be the futuristic metallic version! NIce. I reckon it would look awesome.

T5Frankie's looking for an Atacama interior for his Saffy, looking forward to him getting it.

As for brown cars, sounds like Aston Martin have been listening with the new Vanquish:

Mate, not meaning to teach you to suck eggs but when you get around to fitting the child seat (or baby carrier) on the back seat make sure you use one of these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000EDJ1A8/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1/280-4222866-5484150?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_r=1DFR2Z2X0JXR7V8AVR66&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_i=B005GISU9Y

Otherwise your leather will be trashed by the time you stop using it.

I used one in my car and the leather is as it was before using. Don't use it now thou.
