Hi guys, I'm new to the Volvo scene and have just got myself a 1997 V70 2.5 T.

Just a quick question for now, but I want to know if there are any good UK web sites for aftermarket parts??

Welcome along matey

Your v70 going on age was 1 of the first. I'm not 100% but you may also be able to use some 850 parts. If your want something a little different for your lights you can get angel eyes at a reasonable price but be careful since they can look awesome on a v70 but I've always felt it depends on the colour of the car.

Hope you enjoy the Volvo experience

It's a dark green colour, not sure on the colour code. Then again I'm not sure where to find it, lol. She's on a P plate.

Yeah I would like something a little different on the front end, as I've found out she's got two different head lights. Which was odd. I'll try and get a pic up ASAP.

I like angel eyes on the darker colours but remember its what you want not me or anyone else. They're easy to find on the bay.

I'll agree with ripsta33. If your after parts he's a good source and his prices are really good.

My 850 is also a P reg hence my earlier comment on swapping some parts but check before you do and tbh most people try upgrading there 850 to v70's lol
