242GT Hello, I bought a metallic dark blue with blue fabric convertable on Saturday but it needs a few parts, eg the wood grain console panels and gear stick insert, has anyone got any parts for sale, thanks
Ex850R Mark Iceton is the holder of many c70s! Seats are c70 only so reupholstering may be only way. Fake wood trims used to be available new.
TL_V70 Is it carbon firbe wrap over original plastics or is it real carbon fibre? If its wrapped it should be easily removed
242GT Still waiting for car to arrive, I bought it from Maroochydore in Qld, has a huge rear boot spoiler on, and a reverse gear issue. Electric roof works Finland previous owner fitted a Sony unit to replace radio CD.
Ex850R NICE! Colour is great , spoiler SPOILS it! Talk to Berry Motor Group , Masons Prestige ( Stephen ) or Voldat about the gearbox upgrade options as its needing fixed if a good flush and fill wont fix it. lucky the roof is good! How did he hook up the Sony H/U to the Volvo/Alpine amps/s? The speakers are top of the range dynaudio , keep them and set up th H/U to run them properly. @VolvoDeger @iceton1975 @timbo
242GT I'm in Wollongong NSW and bought the car unregistered, previous owner left it at his father inlaws then handed plates in. I Haven't seen the car up close yet, but hope to get it going without it becoming a money pit.
242GT Apparently the car has all forward gears just not reverse, electric roof works fine, the rest I'll know next week when it arrives.
Rob Same colour as mine. Not sure about that enormous spoiler but each to their own. It is highly likely the wood grain is underneath the carbon fibre wrap. Chances are the wood is split and ugly, that is usually why people choose to cover it up. I gave up on the wood grain and fitted plain grey plastics from an entry level S70 in mine, it is much better weathering, especially in an open top car. Truthfully, I was never a fan of the wood, in my coupe I wrapped it in carbon and am happy with it, the carbon looks pretty good against a dark grey interior if done well.
TL_V70 https://carbonfiberworks.blog/category/800-x70-series/ I will take these over wood grain anyday. Sad The dollar is so low
