Pearl White is the cleanest Volvo color

[EricF]

Snapped this shot this morning when I took a couple pics of the interior of the 244 since I just found my camera (check its FS thread!)...

This is ~3200 miles without a wash, and the front bumper has about 600-650 on it since it was repainted Thursday.

Re-painted by the skilled Jamaican shop near my work... Got it back the next day, cost was reasonable, color matches extremely well :)

[Chris_R]

yeah, now go run your finger down the side and take a pic. :rofl:

Great looking car - love the pearl!

3000 miles without losing a drop of oil or it going down on the dipstick measurably... I think it's a personal record! It just developed massive blowout though, remaining culprits are wires and coil.. Not a big deal. Runs very well, will run better when I put the stock injectors back in with my old ECU from Swedish-friend (gets 16-17 city and 22-23 highway with the R injectors.. not the best).

I love that car, and hate you for having it

screws cleanest, pearl white is one of the purdiest volvo colors ever

Not to be an ass, but if the car hasn't been washed in 3000 miles, how do you know if the new paint matches the old that well? :oogle:

You live in florida where all that happens are hurricanes and old people complaining about voting. Move up here, that car would be filthy in a day.

[HonestJhon]

[norcal505]

but i have to say that my all-time fav. color on volvos, well really 245's, is the opposite:-P

Damn, looking good man. Having the bumper repainted REALLY helps the car look a lot better.

Also have my old ECU back that I sold a couple years ago, just need an 18T or 19T and the car will be about done :)

Show me what a black car looks like after 3000 without a wash :lol:
The front looks filthy and the side is mostly overexposed so it doesn't show any dirt. The wheels look disgusting. Go wash the whole car.

You want a good winter color....#600 shell white. I think my car actually looked cleaner with a coat of salt/scum on it after a good winter highway drive.

Thanks :lol: DC is just buzzing with positive comments in this thread, though what can one really expect?

[towerymt]

Just clean the wheels. Then the eye is drawn away from the somewhat dirty car.

it was on the car when i bought. but i can ask the guy i bought it from where he got from
and the splitters, a guy in modesto, ca, makes them he also makes carbon fiber gauge pods

[crandandall]

I was just joking, I traded the bumper to Paul for a 25mm front swaybar. It came from a totalled 740 that I parted out.

[volvo1211]

fun in the rain tho :)
