Could be alright that like, don't sweat the mileage, in volvo world the more the merrier. Rust is the main thing to worry about.

There's a volvo high mileage club, open to folk with 150,000 miles or more. Go for it, 300s are sadly not very well represented there.

Matt Blacks getting a bit old now like.
And the matt maroon angles already covered by bazboy.

What colour you thinking of?

A nice flat custard-yellow or beige would be excellent drift-cammofluage.
look too pimp and you'll get pulled by the blue-lights every night dude. :D
