What's next ? Share your thoughts please

[V70 Graham]

Well, since I have had the T5 I have had it remapped and lowered along with fitting the projector headlights and indicators, some of you have seen the car, which now looks like this :





Not too bad, if I do say so myself lol, question is what do I do next ?
The cone air filter arrived today and will be fitted at the weekend
Should I consider a 'cat back' exhaust ? What would the benefits be along with the remap and filter ?
As for the wheels tbh I think the stock rims don't look too bad, unless someone can suggest any that would enhance the car.
Same with the grille, I think it suits the projector lights, what ya recon ?

So it's over to you, I welcome any thoughts/opinions you all may have.

ps I'm looking for a name for the car too if any of you have any ideas

Visually, I'd leave it alone, possibly a slight tint to the rear windows. A catback system would make it spool up faster and sound nicer but you'd run a small risk of it hitting resonance at motorway speeds which is really annoying! I know these look good with 18" Pegasus wheels, or for comfort there's the 17" version (thor?) which would look pretty good too.
This has gotta be the first time I've said... Leave the grille alone, like you say, it sets the lights off nicely and blacking the uprights (like mine) would lose that effect.
Less is more with this one I feel but it's your car and you and Mrs. Graham have gotta be happy with it or you're wasting your time.

Sell it to me, and start again.

Hmmm.....don't like the sound of that tbh

.....less is more with this one I feel but it's your car and you and Mrs. Graham have gotta be happy with it or you're wasting your time.

We are happy with the car, and agree that less is more, fairly close to standard with just a few subtle mods....always like to hear others thoughts though.

You can try and prise the keys from Mrs V70 Graham on Sunday.....though I rate your chances VERY low lol

[AcidicDavey]

On the wheel front, you could consider some of the R model? Comets!
As you can see in my sig I've got some on my V70, but I don't think the colour I had mine done in would suit you car.

Im with mr peachey a slight wndow tint and a wheel change

[Kingsford G]

Wheels,calliper paint,a slight tint.

Yeah, I have to get the calipers done, looking into a light tint wheels.....Comets or Pegs ?

[Vikingxl]

Personally i like the comets but thats just me

[T5frankie]

i have comets pegs and titans lol, pegs are by far the sexiest, depends if you value comfort over style, the original grills are disgusting and need binning imo, i like projectors but went the black route.

After seeing the car in the flesh on Sunday it looks really good as it is tbh, wheels, colour, paintwork etc all look well. Calipers let it down a little but your sorting that so all's well

If you were to change the wheels I would only go for a wheel originally fitted by Volvo on that model on a car as clean as yours so for me those two wheels would be

Silver comets



Or Satellites from a 1999ish 2.4 V70R AWD



I'd pick the Satellites because they're different to the usual Pegs but getting them would be like trying to track down the tooth fairy... needless to say they're rarely available as a set.

Lights I'd swap back to standard but that's me and Frankie will tell you I only tend to approve of standard fit exterior items so no offence.. lol

[merc85]

Comets i'd say, Then a Forge Mbc for loads of wheels spin lol, (actually) perhaps not.

Oh dear....lol

Of course none taken, I'm just grateful for any input. I did think a lot about the lights, with wanting to keep the car fairly standard looking, but they do improve lighting at night and I don't think they look bad.
They can always be changed back, I believe the clear ones from a newer C70 would fit.
