my wifes new volvo xc60 r-design

andrew 330i · 06-23-2010, 09:57 PM

lovin it !!! the 20" rims really set it off imo for an suv...

only 500 R-design's were produced for 2010

so far i have completed in week:
~ installed the full clear bra
~ tinted the front windows
~ debadged the rear
~ changed the bulbs to silver visions (mirrors and headlamp signals)
~ dust free brake pads (front & rear)

this car really reminds of our prior '08 XC90 V8 Sport...

Nice.

Enjoy the new ride.

I've never seen a Chinese car in the US before

Sorry, just j/k....

I used to own a few Volvos including the 850R and a S60R.

I really wish they would offer the true performance R series once again.

I always wanted an 850R but everytime I thought about it, I turned myself away because of the auto....

MCMLXXXIX · 06-23-2010, 10:23 PM

actually pretty good looking. congrats

Sylon · 06-23-2010, 10:27 PM

I think it looks great, except that front grill. I just think the Volvo logo is too big. But thats me.

Congrats on the new ride!

ragingclue · 06-23-2010, 10:29 PM

Yeah I'd have to agree it looks good.

For some reason, their car line has visually taken a steep dive lately, but their SUVs are still looking OK.

Yeah I don't know why a MT wasn't available in the US when it was in the rest of the world. They did get wise finally and exported the S60R to the US with an available MT.

jayely1 · 06-23-2010, 11:55 PM

Funny how Volvo's best looking car is an SUV!

Garduna · 06-24-2010, 01:07 AM

and remember, safety first!!! :P

ibeclueless · 06-24-2010, 06:45 AM

looks good

gonzo · 06-24-2010, 07:32 AM

I saw a white one of these a few weeks ago and did a neck bend to see the rear as it passed. I think it is one of the best looking out right now. I like it.

OT a bit. The new Cayenne is yucky poo visually. Went to check out a Turbo and ...unt uh. Awesome interior though.

rubber_ducky · 06-24-2010, 07:43 AM

Looks good.

You installed the clear bar yourself? Was that difficult?

335ifanatic · 06-24-2010, 07:49 AM

Not bad, not ball at all...

C62335i · 06-24-2010, 11:03 AM

Very nice. Luv the 2 tone interior.

E90SLAM · 06-24-2010, 11:20 AM

very nice!!! (from ex-volvo-owner)
Love how you debaged the rear....I hate the new "V O L V O" badge at the rear makes the modern car looks old...

I miss volvo seats....

andrew 330i · 06-24-2010, 12:45 PM

i debadge the car using a blow dryer to heat the badge and fishing line to remove the emblems... the clean look!

flyinb501 · 06-24-2010, 01:03 PM

Looks good!

Sniz · 06-24-2010, 07:04 PM

still love Volvo's but they are slipping away in my crosshairs.

My S60r was a fun car and I LOVED the seats, god they rocked.

Nice SUV, hell id drive that.
