Hi all, Picking up my first blue top (1999 in blue of course) engined car on Saturday, can't wait! Last V70R was in Saffron and I regetted sellling it straight away....that was four years ago. I loved that car, what was I thinking? I'll be posting photos once home and clean again (think it's raining on Saturday). Looking at tuning the 110k engine with a remap for more power and better fuel consumption, any suggestions welcome. I live in Essex. Then tints, refitting the BNIB 17" original R alloys coming with the car and proiector headlights (anyone know where to get them?). Followed by uh-oh here we go again... Cheers, Paul.

Welcome Paul. I have PFV black projectors on my black C70, and crystals on my V70 R, but am thinking of swapping...............again.

Thanks Mark, swapping again, as you do....
