There are loads of companies that do Volvo X40 aftermarket parts.

One i've used for bolt on stuff, induction kits, suspension etc- www.motorsportworld.co.uk

Wheel fitment is 4x114.3.

I've used demon-tweeks.co.uk for k and n induction kit and OMP strut brace.

If you're looking to change wheels, be VERY careful.

Wheels/tyres that fit say a phase 1, don't necessarily fit a phase 2, and vice versa. Later models had the arch lips rolled to make this less of an issue. What suspension is fitted too has a bearing - especially if lowered. You can get issues with tyres rubbing on the struts, or bolts which hold the bumper/spoiler.

If it is a turbo and you are considering a dumpvalve, forge do a good complete kit - www.forgemotorsport.co.uk - John Withers is your man to speak to.

Whatever you do consider doing, look for advice on the forum by doing a search first. Failing that, ask! Someone, somewhere, has almost definitely done the same before!!

All the best

thanx for the advice,
i dont think she wants any performance mods really,
mainly exterior i think,wheels,spoilers etc that sort of thing.
i think the 1.8i will scare her if she put her foot down lol,
