V70R colours

**MisterC1501** · Sunday 12th July 2009, 20:36

I have seen lists of the phase 3 265 models on here before, but what were the colours on the V70R.

I don't want an R AWD, but quite fancy the Cassis.

I know they did a silver, black, saffron, dark blue and a deep redish colour but this may vary depending on the year. I'm sure there is another thread on here somewhere that details the colours - maybe though thats the same list you've seen that shows the 265 model colours. The Cassis is nice

I'm sorry Lee, but you're wrong on 2 counts. Saffron is the best colour for V70R and the Lazy Blue was for the Phase 3 AWD R

Gay gold is nice on a R but Silver is timeless

Christ knows. If you put a p2 and a p3 AWD R together they look identical colour wise. Never heard that one myself.

Actually just had a wee gander on Google, apparently thats the American name for that colour. Glad you brought it to my attention though, been calling it Sonic blue for quite a while now!!!!!!!!

Laser 4 wheel alignment inc f/n/s camber angle (Elite)
Two front wheel bearings (SW Autos)
Two front track rod ends (SW Autos)
Two front link arms (SW Autos)
Full Filter service inc oe plugs and slick 50 treatment (did myself)
New front OE pads and discs and silicone fluid change (SW Autos)
o/s/f caliper (SW Autos)
Two front CV joints (SW Autos)

Right now she drives like a dream...very smooth.

Sorry mate but it is damned nice, you wouldn't be jealous would you?????

Yours is nice to mate, it is actually the colour (on topic) that makes his as nice as it is.

I think the Laser Blue and Saffron are both superb colours. The jurys still out on Cassis though. In some light it looks amazing butin some it looks almost black and im not a fan of very dark cars.
