C30 Petrol 2.0 facelift -help with upgrades

[LowlyG]

Hi All,

We have a 2.0 C30 R-Design from 2012 that we love, but needs some love.

Immediate issues:

Aircon broken - new condenser or something needed (great in a heatwave)
Brakes - squeaky af (considering upgrading to larger, dressy callipers and disks)
Headlight upgrade - I’d see better with a couple of oil lamps up front

Desires:

New Wheels - current Cratus wheels not in the best nick
Twin pipes - just prefer the aesthetic, although will want them both working
Body kit - seen the Kraero kit, Front splitter, side skirts and rear “diffuser” and like the look
Power - would like to get a bit more out of the 2.0 4 pot than is currently available
Wrap - currently white but considering a wrap

I’m not skilled enough to do most, if any, of this myself, so was wondering if anyone knows a reputable mechanic or company that specialises in C30’s?

Anyone played with their C30 facelift and can share some pics?

Thanks
Lowly

all good desireable mods but none will increase the value you would be spending lots of cash just to make it your own

Wraps are crap in my opinion.
Paint wheels drop the suspension get it mapped, get better headlight bulbs in it.
Slap some groved discs on it and get a custom exhaust but first sort out the niggles.
Nowt better than a modded Volvo, why because no one hardly does it.

Cheers Mark
