    Is there much you can do?

    Just starting out modding my C30 (only done HIDS so far) tints planned at trax.

    Im wondering how much you can do or how much is available? it seems so far from looking around the interweb that there isnt a huge market for modding volvos - cosmetics especially.

    Anybody got a well modded C30 with their mods listed so I can have a browse?

    I saw an excellent audio install once on a forum where the guy practically ripped his car apart and fitted a touch lcd screen etc that was pretty good but thats quite a project!

    I don't know much about cosmetic mods for C30's but I think Viva Performance might provide some inspiration.

    you can do loads to the C30. My mate has a 59 plate one. i have an 07 plate one. he has had lowering springs put on it, bigger injectors, bigger intercooler, bigger brakes, full stainless exhaust 3inch, uprated turbo and a stage 2 remap. its doing just short or 370bhp. needs a new clutch now tho! and only done 20k!

    Uprated cooler, lowering springs, tints, wind deflectors. Cold air intake, bigger down pipe and sports cat, torque mount. You will find all the focus st mod parts fit the c30 apart from intercoolers. Remap it from polestar or auto tech. Mines auto tech and 3rd is a proper animal now.
