D3 AWD R-design

Hi there,

Im pretty new on this forum.
After spending alot of my time reading everything about the XC60 i suddenly ordered one 12 of may this year.
It arrived 5th of october, and i must admit the wait was way to long.

The car has pretty much everything, the only thing i didnt order was the front camera and the premium sound.

I already changed the exterior lights to led, like someone else on the forum did. And it does look way better in real life then on the pictures.
Next update will maybe be a bsr tuning to 245hk.

Wintertires this year are 19" Pirelli
Scorpion ICE + SNOW 255/50 R19 107H, do you think they are ok?
Havent ordered them yet.

Now some pictures of the car.

I think the XC60 R design looks at its best in white.

Very nice car! I very nearly ordered the white myself!

thats why i went for white in norway. Kind of have to blend in to the snow, since the speeding fees are that hight

Lovely!

What kind of rims are you thinking of for the wintertyres? I got the Achilles diamond cut on mine. 19s are perfect for it.

What about the warranty with the tuning?

Regular XC60 17s for my winter rims. Michelin Latitude X-Ice North. Bring it on! I wouldn't go with 19s, especially with the state of Norwegian roads = potholes-r-us. You're asking to get them banged up and mangled IMHO.
