Could put the price up if it's a perfect job and looks good.

But then again people might wonder if you are a boy racer and could put the value down.

Pretty terriable answer.

I know a friend has a Ford Focus, he put black tinted rear lights, mesh front, tinted the windows, put a H&K (?) air filter, change the inside a little, put newer center console (between front seats) arm rest, added some small detailing and it looks great. Still looks like a ford focus, sounds great, looks nicer and he can get top €€€ for his.

Problem is the Volvo one is a bit heavy handed and does nothing to enhance the lines of the car (IMO).

Reminds me a little of the old aftermarket Ford kits you used to see around in the eighties!

Americans seem to go for it though

For me i'll be putting a Heico grill, rear spoiler and tinting the windows...

Not much, but just enough to make it that little different.

I was thinking about getting the heico twin exaust, but now I am looking at a 2.0T instead of the T5 so not much of a point then.

Does anyone know if there is any good companys in the UK that you can buy/fix/paint a body kit on. Kumar Union only sell the parts.

Car essentials also have some deal going for 995 pounds.

Hi,
I thought I just update this post with some pictures of the front and rear spoilers Ive put on. Lucky I didnt need to paint them since they work rather well with my black trims.
