New V60 Flamenco Red - Pic

K5 Gus · Nov 21st, 2014, 14:58

Picked the car up yesterday, loving the colour, and getting to grips with all the buttons and settings.

Has anyone else with a V60 removed the net guard thing on the back of the seats that attaches up to the roof to stop anything in luggage area coming through into passenger compartment ? Looks a bit pointless, and with seats folded you lose the flat load area. Think it will have to go

Nice car Gus! Beware though. Nice cars are magnetic. By the time you come back you'll have a scrapper parked each side unnecessarily close.

Snap - though my T3 is just 12 months old.

If you have a non TFT dash then you'll find the time clock vanishes once you start rolling if you have elected to have the speed displayed in numbers in the centre! Otherwise a typical great Swede!

Enjoy!

Looks great in that colour

Nice colour, as mentioned before watch out for the bangers, good looking cars seem to attract them!

Looks smart.

I took the net off and replaced with a metal load restraint which folds towards the roof leaving the floor flat when needed. Much happier knowing if the worst happened loose stuff in the boot won't fly forwards.

Nice colour!

The cassettes for the load netting do just slide off sideways so if/when you do need to drop the seats for a flat load area you can just slide them off in seconds, and if you don't have a spare wheel there are apparently little storage slots for them in the cubbyhole under the boot floor.

Car looks good - colour sets it off well.

I am really pleased with my XC60 in this colour.

I got rid of the nets, if you have the brilliant fold down guard then they run the base of the guard when deployed and the squeaking drove me mad. Slide them to one side and leave them in the garage to gather dust

Looks nice - and the number plate!
