Hi all,

First I want to say I'm dutch speaking, so sorry for my typing.

Great forum this is en man do I love the cars I can see here. At ours, in Belgium, we rarely see tuned volvo's.

I bought myself a V50 MY06 2.0 D a month agoo.
My girlfriend is pregnant so I needed a family car. But couldn't leave it like it was, so got me some wheels (borbet) and lowering springs (weitec). Grill is on his way, hopefully it arrives this week.

Got the wheels and lowering this weekend, here some pics I took;

That is a very nice looking V50! Simple but elegant! What is next on the modifying list?

Thx!

Trying to keep it simple... Grill arrives this week, but still have to find out how the replace the original one.

I would like front + back spoiler lip and sideskirts... but that won't be for the coming months. First I have to save some money... there's a baby on his way.

Loving those wheels and the stance it gives the car! But I'm really hating that grill

. Good thing you're going to change it out.

Looks nice http://********************/smile/emthup.gif , those are Borbet XLs . Sam Cool had these on his first C30 (black one) .

I like the grill, (oem eurospec Waterfall) I'm running this one myself.

About the grill, you love it or you hate it... It's is and stays a personal choice.

Re: (Roco80)

Love the wagon. Ride height seems to be close to perfect. Nice work so far - not too over the top.

 

[crossie]

nice ride you've got there!!
I've got a 2.0D myself... and I love it!

front spoiler lip would be great, maybe you should have a look at carreragt7's thread "C30 front lip conversion" (or something similar...) - I think his lip will be a nice add-on!

as for the waterfall grill, I'm on the "hate" side

not a big fan of chrome...
(sorry chris

no offense ... hehe)

cheers!

Re: Newbie; Roco's v50 (Roco80)

Congrats on the Volvo, very nice car...

And yet another 2.0D owner on SS!

we're gaining pace

p.s. What type of engine oil are you guys using in the 2.0D?

 

[Moofluffen]

Looks good!

 

[Vash13]

The car looks great! would look even better with the black rear diffuser that I have laying around for the V50

 

[Roco80]

Re: (Vash13)

I guess it really would look great under the car

But then I'd still need front spoiler lip and sideskirts! Have to think it over.

I agree with Martin on the C30 front lip, and would like to do this myself.

it's cool... on the Chrome hating (I'm not even sure if I like it

) see ya Sunday in Alsfeld

 

[Roco80]

Grill arrived yesterday, due to the bad weather, haven't been able to TRY and change it.

I'll post some pics as soon as it's on the car.

Re: (Roco80)
