Great photos!
I did see a 2005 V70R up for grabs in Queensland not so long ago. Can't remember if it was manual or auto, but all you'd have to do is change the transmission and you're done.
But where would the fun be in that?
Love the Euro/Belgian number plate backing.
Cheers,

Yeah I got those from AUTO5 not long ago. There were several variants but I liked these the most.
Im sure plenty of people have been confused as to where they're from. I knew you would know

how much of a difference did the stage 1 ECU upgrade make? I am considering purchasing it from IPD on my XC70 auto. BTW, I like what you have done so far on your car, I am on the fence with either selling my xc70 for a v70r or just putting some mods into the xc70.

Hmmm... what would 208 vs 245hp plus 235 vs 310lb/t do to any car.
VARRROOOM. I love my stage 1 upgrade. Should be standard.

I really like what you did to your car, shows some real passion... and I love the R-Design dials (with LEDs)...
Could you explain in some more detail how you accomplished that?
I read that the units are not easily replaceable... Were you able to just swap the dials somehow?
