Default C70 - New Owner

Just thought I would pop in and say hi. I have been a member since I bought my V40 7 years ago, and after 7 years trouble free motoring I have decided it's time for s change. On Monday I pick up a 2010 C70 SE Lux so this forum will be my new home.

Can't wait to pick it up and have a play with the toys....only thing I need is the Wind Deflector...oh and some sun🙄

Welcome, and enjoy! (Trust me, you will )

The wind-deflector is definitely worth having. There's currently one available in the Sales section of this sub-forum.

Welcome aboard Slackey.

One of the best things I have found for the car (appart from wind breaker) is the smarttop roof module. You can control the roof with the keys, tap the roof button to open/close (no more holding it) and set it up to work whilst moving. (Its the doing it with the keys that is truly amazing!)

So many times ive had my hands full to put something or someone in the back seat, just hit unlock 3 times, just put whats in my hands directly on the back seat! with no obstructions!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I picked the car up today and I have to say I am delighted with it.

It is a Black 2010 2.0 SE Lux so has all the bells and whistles (except BLIS)

I already have my eye on a Smarttop module. Just thought I would get my head around the car first and then put one on.

Oh and I have a windbreak on the way so happy about that!

How much do the smart modules cost and where do you get them?
