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.
thanx il hav a look. cheers mate
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,

theee are two types of headlights one with black surrounds and one with silver. And I've got 215/40/17's as well. I bought them with the car so I don't know the correct fitting
