I know some of us are in envy right now... I want one black on black, I would have to put a 5 speed in it though. Are you a Volvo mommy?

Well keep on being a Volvo Mommy. Im a Volvo Daddy myself. How many kids do you have? I drive my girlfriend mad when I put my daughters shirt on that says " I would rather ride in the volvo" since she has a BMW.

I have no idea. Maybe hes talking about cleaning the inside up.

Maybe it's just the pics, but the black trim -outside- looks faded. Esp on the rear bumper.

They're talking about using something to blacken the door rub trim and the front and rear bumpers. I used KIWI shoe dye on mine. After about 9 months the door trim still looks great. The bumpers still look OK but I'm going to go ahead and paint them black with bumper and trim paint. Check out my pics in the Image Gallery under "Latest Upgrades 850". It would really make your car look alot better.

real sweet. even a good detailing job would make it look a thousand times better. or you could spend a couple of hours washing and waxing and vacuuming it out. dye the trim and just cruise it. hell, park it next to the s70 and let all the guys eat their hearts out. volvo mom cruises with the 70 and races you for pinks in the T5R. wooooooooohooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A wash and a polish should definitely do the trick! It IS a T5R anyways! A shiny and clean car does help in selling a car and attracting potential buyers. :grin:

Littlemommy928, it's not shoe polish it's shoe dye. Big difference. You can buy it for about $2.50 USD at any W.M, Target, etc.

Errm, its simple, actually.

Click on Create New Vehicle and put in your details. Then click on either the gallery to put your photos in, or the Add Mods if you have any.

Just remember to keep the photos small is size.

Try it.
