Well thought I may as well update this, In the end the wheels went to chameleon in paisley did a first class job at an unbeleivable price.... the results... Then came the bumper protector (rear bumper top was ducked previous owner obviously bounced stuff off it when loading the boot)...

Remind me edd what colour is KY5? dark silver/gun metal is top so for but going to wait till I can see the colour in person, have to admit I'm tempted to do them orange, there's a black audi A3 with orange wheels locally and it looks really nice, but I don't think it'll suit the S40

Right after deciding that the white whees dont' suit the car (didn't take long :lol: ) I've been on the look out for some OEM wheels, well managed to get some at a very good price last week, & I've found somehwere local to powder coat them on thursday here's the wheels: Just after some...

I would love to lower the car, but the road round glasgow especially on my route to work are shite!! so it would ruin the ride, strut brace and a thicker anti roll bar are on the list

I don't like the R wheels, I like the wheels they look 'better' in person they don't seem to be photogenic, I think I maybe should have went for 18's as the lip seems to make them look smaller......

My new wheels arrived today, wasn't too sure at first but growing on me... and at least there brand new with new tyres so no vibrations from buckles/bad tyres..

I was dreading the ride as the T5's have the sport rather than the comfort suspension, especially as the standard tyres are 205/50 R17's but I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised little if any difference in ride, no where near as harsh as I was expecting, I think the 225/40's have about...

Well after a while searching I managed to find a Nice set of alloys for sale on egay, and after watching them not sell a few times I made a couple of offers which were rejected, then he relisted again & I made my first low offer again and it was accepted so got them fitted at the weekend...

Nice car, I would have had one, except the S40 T5 I have is way better spec'd and was a dam site cheaper, no one buys volvo's :LOL: I'm loving mine, thinking about getting a remap done in the summer been quoted £350 including before and after Dyno runs...

Well seeing as the thread I made for my new T5 seems to have bit the dust I Thought I'd update this with the new whip Well after wanting a T5 for a while but never quite finding the one I wanted I was making do with a V40 T4 ;-) But then I got an unexpected bonus from work and someone...

What paint did you use on the calipers? I'm wanting to do my calipers gold and it looks a really good colour...

Yeah the equipment level in the VRS were not good & the black and white interior was a stupid idea as the white inserts always look manky, the guy at works got a V70 T5 that I had a shot in & I test drove a S60 T5 auto both were amazing and felt even quicker than the T4 (on paper more or less...

Someone on the volvo forum did a photoshop Don't want to lower it (as lowering was the main reason the N16 went couldn't live with the harsh ride expecially with the shite roads in glasgow) but I am tempted LOL

Have you got a new ride to replace the Sport+?? was sorry to hear it got written off at least some of the part will love on LOL, yeah colour is growing on me a bit looks nice in the sunshine, would have prefered a dark grey or bluey/green like the S40 but it ticked every other box... Octavia...

I kind of get it but to be honest most people don't know what a 'T4' is so to most people it just makes the car look older than it is, which is what I said to him, Its nice to have the plate but I wasn't going to pay extra for it, will probably end up selling when I'm skint later in the year lol

I knew what T4's were worth as I'd sold mine about 8 months before I got this one similar spec & I'd got now where near what he was after, the Guy was wanting £500 on top of list as he said the plate was valued at this, I said not to me what do I care if its got T4 on the plate, I said keep it...

Yeah I really liked the 2 VRS's I saw but they were just stupid money, the red one was a 51 reg from memory and the guy had it on for £3k and I bargined a bit with him but he would'nt come any lower than £2800 even though he'd been trying to sell it for like 2 months! they were nice to drive but...

cheers I really don't like the colour but after 6 months without a car & in that time this was the only near mint T4 that came up with less than 100k on the clock, it had all the spec that I wanted apart from the sunroof (rare on the V/S40's), girlfriend was gutted as she hates the colour and...

As title had the new ride for a couple of months now so thought it was about time I got some pics up... I know its not an almera but thought some of you may like to see it anyway, and if things go to plan re paying off my debts I should be back in an almera as a 2nd car this time next...

I see the old lenso's are multi fit don't suppose they're 4x114? and for sale??
