    Gull C30

    Volvo dealer had this in when i popped in this morning. Never seen one in Gull yellow before & is very close to the 850 T-5R yellow. I think with some bigger anthracite rims could look quite good

    Gull yellow is known as a special Volvo colour to us lot tho, thats what made the car stand out to me. I think it pulls it off better than Saffron

    OY!!!!! Nowt wrong with a bit of Yellow!!!

    I have been lookin into new cars and places like Jag/BMW Etc do not do any bright colours at all just silvers and whites, so I like the fact the Volvo have kept the colour in their options..

    Last year I did consider wrapping a BMW 530d in Gul colours, but then I realised that I'm skint..

    Seen one of these when I went to collect my T5 from the garage was asking the sale guy about it, limited edition colour apparently looks nicer in person, but it is a very marmite colour, I liked it, to my surprise the girlfriend liked it to but the sales guy hated it and reconned he'd struggle to sell it, they also had a burnt amber colour C30 now that looked really nice!!
