Hi,

I have recently bought an 06 1.8 S40 Sport. I just wanted to say how brilliant and informative this forum is. I purchased my Volvo privately with 40,000 0n the clock for £5000.

Well there is one thing I would change and that is the VOLVO badge on the rear to the newer V O L V O badge. Just one of those simple asthetic things but each to their own.

Nice car by the way.

Well I used to think the same way when they first came out with the spaced V O L V O but it grew on me over time and now I really do like it. Once I changed it my own car I though it does make a big difference to the asthetics and brings it up to date.
