Got it booked into a paint shop to get that front wing respray done at last along with touch up on the sill.

Then it’s going up for sale.

Hi guys,
The first thing I have done with my 2.0, is to upgrade the standard wheels to the 18" 108 style :D

I'm interested in this too - I find the standard wheel a little thin and difficult to grip at times and that looks great :thumbsup:

Not the E85...

Changed the power steering pump on the missus Volvo XC60

FML

5 hours and that was with no c0ck ups

No wonder garages weren’t keen to quote for it

I’d rather do 5 vanos seal changes instead of that again

Bought a new (to me) set of wheels. I've looked everywhere in Sweden for a decent set of 108s or 135s to replace my 17" setup. Finally found these 135s which are a 9/10. Brand new front tyres were just a bonus!
