Thanks Gents! Much appreciated...

I've now learnt that I've got "Comet C" alloys on my C70. So yes, ET43.
Good to know.
Wish I could find a set of decent "Props C" alloys for her instead though...

Geeeez... I really wish you hadn't linked to that Volvo Accessory document!!
Not good for my mental health.
I now want just about half of what's in there!!
For starters, that 3-spoke sports steering wheel towards the very end of the document is nothing short of stunning. I now MUST have one!!
Being the Volvo novice that I am, I'll have to ask (perhaps stupidly), is stuff like this actually still to be found?? I would seriously pay good money if I could find a steering wheel like that...

That Ohlins developed handling kit looks pretty tasty too! Has anyone in here actually ever driven a Volvo with this kit fitted?? I'd love to know just how hard the suspension is. I do enjoy a firm and well-balanced suspension setup, but on bumpy back roads it can also easily become a bit too stiff.

Mmmmmmm.... and that 320mm front brake kit for 17" wheels looks rather tasty too!

Damn it!! I now won't sleep tonight...
