Which Lights?

[iancho]

.....dunno if that's not the Saffy paint making it look gay !

Of COURSE!!! lmfao...

[MoleT-5R]

Dunno, I think that eggcrate suits the car tbh

I agree, it looks alot nicer than a great big black hole, that looks totally feature less. Which I feel looks odd next to those fab lights, but hay, it's your car and your choice and if people didn't have completely different views to one and another, we wouldn't need a forum to discuss it. Iancho your car will look fab what ever you do.......it will still be a hard choice I'm sure

[MoleT-5R]

Hi Adrian, mate it has been driving me mad!

I now think that after fitting the eggcrate it just screams gay! So Black mesh with Black projectors (in the future) have you got HIDs in yours?

not yet but they will be going in soon, then the only problem is I will want some for the T-5R doubling the expense, but oh well it's only money and there are to deserving Volvo's...lol

No Adrian your spot on with the first part of your answer, good honest opinion which is what i want to hear. I know and understand that your all offering me advice.

Somebody off the street said the same thing a few months ago about the mesh grill.... i will keep the eggcrate for a few more days to see if it grows on me.

good thing about the eggcrates they make good money if you wanna sell, it will go quick, your eggrate is a c70 one but mine is an xc70 one

[iancho]

Ahhh, I see...... thanks for that Frank. I think i will keep it for the mo, wheather i like it or not as it cost me a £100 with the R logo.

whats the difference?, I've not looked that closely....

[T5frankie]

whats the difference?, I've not looked that closely....

the c70 has a blue square in the middle but the xc70 has a black square so better!

The c70 has a bit of blue on the badge. The xc70 is just black.

Now i know! LOL

Your doing a great jod with the S70 Frank.... Love the new look, very tastey mate!

Thanks for asking the question Adrian... otherwise i would still be scratching my head!

[LiamT4]

but alot slower than my scoob lol

Off the line, but maybe a different story from 60mph+

and i know which car i'd prefer to drive a 1000miles in

Do the maths mate

Your scooby : 0-60mph 5 secs, 0-97mph 13.7s (thats going on your 1/4mile time and terminal speed and your 0-60mph time)

My 540 : 0-60mph 6 secs, 0-99mph 14.4s (using my 1/4mile time and speed)

So you car does 60-97mph in 8.7 and my 540 does 60-99mph in 8.4.

I think my cars not bad for a virtually standard 1700kg+ car, but at the same time i think its slower than my t4 was, as that did 0-100mph in 14.4 and that was slower off the line than the 540, what with it being an auto, it had a bit of lag and then struggled with the power because of the fwd.

so my car is still quicker to 60 and 100 than yours lol, with an engine les than half the size, and remember liam that 0-60 time was at trax in the wet

You seem to be struggling with the maths frankie, your (ex) scooby managed 60-97mph in 8.7 and my 540 did 60-99mph in 8.4. So from 60-100mph mines quicker.

and as your 0-60 time was done in the wet at trax and your 1/4mile time was done in the dry, then that should mean when you did the 1/4mile, your 0-60 time would have been quicker than your wet trax time and therefore your 60-97mph time would actually be higher than 8.7.

btw, the merc may have a slower 1/4mile time than the scooby, but i'm pretty sure that its faster over 60mph.

i dont know what you are saying liam your car is not quicker to 60 as proven and mine to 100 must be around 14 as 97.8 is 13.7 but yours will be 14.5 as was 14.4 at 99, so what are you saying?

The scooby does 0-60 in 5 and 0-97 in 13.7. So take your 1/4mile time (which gives us your terminal speed) and subtract your 0-60 time and you get a time that gives you your 60-97mph. Which is : 13.7 - 5 = 8.7

If we do the same for my car its : 14.4 - 6 = 8.4

So 60-99 was 8.4 for me and the scooby did 60-97 in 8.7.
