Show us your Ovlov thread

(It seems most sections have them so thought I'd start off)

Come on then I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Most recent being the Sunday just gone after a nearly 5 hours detailing.

Here is Optimus.

Nice looking steeds so far.

Heres another of mine with some off roadie types.



172k and still going strong, couple of little niggles along the way but i love it all the same.

Next mod is spray the plastic stripes body colour at some point.

I did read your thread yesterday chap.

Your D5 looks lovely as is. I wish I could afford that shape model but the pennies/misses wont allow it at the moment.

I'd suggest de badging the grill would make a big difference and most 'younguns' wont know what it is.

those rims really suit the 30 would like one some day.

I've got a Garage entry and Readers' Cars thread going for my first Volvo, a spec-tastic V60 D5 SE Lux. I'm more pleased with it than almost all of my old performance cars:

Stunning interior!

Agreed.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Do love that colour Mike.

Custard or rice pudding?

Nice, I really want to paint the door strips on my black S60, hate the bloody plastic ones!

My 850R auto, have a manual one in the same colour though (tan inside)... Wonderful cars

First time on this site, have an 850 Estate, 2.5 petrol automatic , did 35k miles from 61k. No problem and would really go for ever. Unfortunately it needs its first exhaust and it is gong to cost £750.00. I will have to retire it with saddens. For the last for year have done two runs a year to Berlin and Salsburg at average 90 miles. It however 19 year old!

If there was one brand new I would buy it with eyes closed!

Hi Medi1234,

Welcome to the forum :wave: £750 for an exhaust seems a lot! where are you based?

[Pixel-Snapper]

Can you do head stands now Martin?

[Pixel-Snapper]

Looks handy Digby

[Pixel-Snapper]

Nice rims Garrett similar to mine in colour.

I clocked 179k in Optimus this morning! Almost time for some TLC.

[Pixel-Snapper]

They maybe darker than OEM as I used a Renault gunmetal paint code and also put a slight amount of bronze flake in the paint. It not very noticeable from the pictures but in direct sunlight they have a faint bronze to them.

When there clean that is!
