    My V40

    well here she is

    1999 1.8xs
    The day i got it



    new brakes allround


    1st mod.. came off the old T4


    got rid of the horrid chrome grill and de-grayed some of the trim =)


    then... alloys


    then my custom made led mirrors and led side running lights im quite pleased with these... not another one out there




    also picked up a strutbrace not got any pics yet.. although ive probably bored you all already

    bit of a bargain me thinks! Picked her up for £320 the guy also chucked in brand new discs and pads all round!! had little MOT and Tax but shot through with only needing tiny bit of brake pipe and a tyre as one had a small split

    Current mods are...
    de-chromed grille,
    wood kit,
    custom mirror indicators,
    custom side-running lights,
    omp strutbrace,
    17" Volvo Alloys,
    10w rear sidelights,
    uprgraded headlights 100/80w,
    silvatech chrome indicator bulbs

    future mods..
    spoiler,
    lowered,
    leather
    tints

    Think thats about it!

    Thanks for looking

    Looks good, i like the LED side lights, have you thought about getting the smoked side like reflectors? Could look even better then.
