    2013 - S70R clean up..

    So fresh from a full service etc and with the weather today being quite nice my brother decided to give the car a clean up.. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera on me so you'll have to settle for crappy i-phone camera quality and these shots really don't do the car justice.. lol









    Anyone care to guess her current mileage?

    Quite a complement coming from someone with car like yours

    It's certainly low, but oddly doesn't give much ground clearance issues, been like that now for around 2 years. Despite it's low ride height it rides well he's got the rebound rate perfect, no one who has been in it can believe how well it handles either. KW's are definitely the best coil over kit to buy for a Volvo.

    Think your being a bit hard on yours there Gav, I think yours is a lovely car. Condition wise James has me piped to top space tbh. The paintwork on his is like glass at the moment it's that smooth

    Lol you wouldnt have said that if youd seen the finish after i cleaned it today, made a right b**** job on it lol, think it was because i was rushing to get it done, had to take my son to his bday party.
