I wonder if these covers are to stop people seeing the rust on the brake discs that appears after a couple of days not using the car?

If not what is the purpose of them?

I think that the vehicle manufacturers use these covers to protect the discs from being contaminated from the anti-corrosion material applied to the bodywork prior to delivery.

Cheers Matt.
Pity there isn't some sort of protection from disk brake contamination tho.

Agreed. Certainly a pain to scrub off, although, at least it means the brakes are still working..

Nice pics, nice car
Can't wait for mine. 2.5 months to go

By the way, are these the 18'' or 20'' alloys?

If so, I'd be keen to hear your opinions of the engine/gearbox in a week or two..

No it's not t5 but it has similar specs but less turbo pressure. They're both 4 cylinder, 2000cc engines. T5 is 240hp and 2.0t is 203. According to volvo.de their comsumption is same. Both comes with powershift.

They're 20 rims, waiting for new tires (255/45 20 Pirelli ice & snow) and new protectors (alloygators)

A question to the xc60-T6 2011 owners: Do you get the white back light in the instrument panel, and it can not be changed? I realize I observed it was a nice blue back light while I was test-driving one from the dealership.

There's not many in the UK that has the T6 but most models are similar. Sounds like you tested the R-DESIGN? I would have said no it cannot be changed.

500kms so far and I'm very pleased. Very happy about exterior and interior color choices.
