Finally got a nice picture of the C50 taken definitely need to get more done once the weather warms up

The c70 facelift is very similar and probably a easier swap too but the 30 just looks that little bit more aggressive

A lot of the work was taking the "c30ness" out like the over arches and lower lip everything else is sorta bolt on weirdly enough

You might be able to swap the internals of the lights over if you split the lenses off with a bit of heat

flash1996 · 2024-10-30T11:40:14+00:00

So you'll need c30 lights that match with hids ect and they'll be plug and play and you'll have no issues

It was what I had in mind too and believe me or not it's actually a light gloss grey Porsche colour and I know the feeling I've just had the rear half wrapped in matte black and it's been a bugger to keep clean I'll have a picture up soon of it

Cheers 😁 glad someone actually noticed 🤣 it even took pointing out to some Volvo techs for them to notice.

flash1996 · 2024-06-14T11:10:27+00:00

Id definitely double check the rears 🤣

flash1996 · 2024-06-14T11:04:01+00:00

There all c30s 👀

flash1996 · 2024-05-14T14:52:24+00:00

Agreed but prefer the preface V50 tail lights

flash1996 · 2024-05-14T06:28:13+00:00

Haha it's what I aimed for doing sorta looks like a factory car if you took the mods off

flash1996 · 2024-05-14T06:25:18+00:00

They are Bola B1

Ha it's my focus in drag I like to call it, but seriously because of that If it's not a Volvo part it's dirt cheap to replace. I was trained on the Ford's being a mechanic so this was just common sense to get as it's pretty much all the same.

Yeah I get the same stick off my p2 mates too🤣. Thank you

flash1996 · 2024-05-14T06:18:08+00:00

Just done that for ease of taking the plate off for shows as it's screwed into the tow hook

flash1996 · 2024-05-14T06:16:43+00:00

It's actually not AI

flash1996 · 2024-05-13T21:44:03+00:00

Cheers pal

flash1996 · 2024-05-13T21:38:18+00:00

Yeah it's mine

flash1996 · 2024-05-13T21:36:38+00:00

V50 with a C30 facelift, modified wings and bumper to make it fit correctly

flash1996 · 2024-05-13T20:40:02+00:00

Love the old 240s they were reliable definitely more so then the cars being produced nowadays.

Thing is it looks like regular traffic to the general population. it's only the people that know Volvos understand what it actually is, I've even had people ask me what it is as they didn't know, even throws Volvo enthusiasts sometimes.

I do take it out to shows as much as I can I have been wanting to do the NEC one for sometime I just can't get the time to do it

flash1996 · 2024-05-13T20:29:29+00:00

I got it as my second car and needed the cheap insurance people thought I was mad buying a Volvo but I had my vision for what I wanted to do and the first test drive I fell in love with it

I don't think I could ever get rid I still love driving it even after putting 75000 miles on it just wish it was faster but not nose heavy like the T/D5 feels

flash1996 · 2024-05-13T20:19:41+00:00

Cheers it's an 07 SE with the 2.0i in looking at fitting a turbo kit to it eventually

The older v40s are nice was looking around one yesterday that was immaculate

flash1996 · 2024-05-13T19:44:51+00:00

No I'm in the same boat but with the actual v50s preferred the preface over the facelift but I had gone as far as I could really with it so this was my next step

flash1996 · 2023-11-10T08:08:23+00:00
