Default Hi All, new owner V50
Hi All, just wanted to introduce myself as a new owner. Previously had a BMW 3 series but always fancied a V50 and when the BMW needed too much work done i made the jump to Volvo.

I bought a V50 2008 2.0 diesel SE Sport R-Design. My first point of call was to get the windows tinted.

Side lights upgraded to LED. The little things make such improvements. A lot better now

Updated the sun visor mirror lights to LED, actually shocked at how bad the originals were. Didn't realise until it was beside the LED

R design front lip seems to be missing on my v50, so i managed to pick up a used one from a v50 being broke, which they kindly gave me the whole bumper for, including the left fog light lens which coincidentally i needed too as mine was scratched. £35 for the lot seemed ok to me

Nice fixes there, you should pop a thread up on your car in the project / showroom section

Looks well cared for, those R Design seats usually look pretty manky at that age.
