    Never seen that colour before, could be swayed now, lot better than the yellow imo.

    Nice wheels btw.

    They get the thumbs up from me. But the colour makes em or kills em, depending on the match/contrast with the car colour....

    I had yellow ones on.. black is better - they do get a lot of attention tho! (in a good way)

    Thanks ref the wheels - 18" would have looked better but the ride is great with the 17's on (yet to take it on a B-road thrash to see if the dynamics have improved too over the stock wheels)

    wouldnt be without my metal moose badges on the wings.. makes the car less everyday volvo. gives it that little difference, eg. i parked next to a volvo in a carpark at the beach the other day and it was only from the moose badge that i knew he was a forum member and not just another john doe with a volvo. I later bumped into the guy in the carpark and found he was a T5D5 member.. without the moose id not have known he was a forum friend...

    I like 'em, but then the yellow ones go quite nice with green.

    Each to their own I guess.
