How does the fact it's AWD stop you from putting some normal £160 H&R lowering springs on it?

Or more to the point, why is the AWD model higher than FWD?

Oh go on then ....

Completely stock, except for a mild window tint on the sides and rear, and I'm currently running the 17" Serapis rims saved from my old 2008 C70 instead of the 18" Morpheus ones pictured here. Now also minus the dealer stickers!

Extra options to usual Solstice spec are:

- LED DRL's in place of the useless foglights, best thing for them IMHO, also saving the Xenon bulb life.

- Dark Oak effect console and door handles. Same texture as the Nordic Light Oak option, except way rarer. This is the only C70 I've ever even seen pictures of that has this option. Not the same thing as the shiny smooth version from before the 2008MY interior facelift, although that wood effect on the sports steering wheel was rather nice.

I didn't put it on the car though, it came with it when I got it as it wasn't really applicable to the new Focus he had just purchased...

Decent mate. I like it when people have s40
/v50 /s60 /v70 etc to match the car
Model.

Get your wheels black

Nice list of some mods there i like it 👍.

What is pressed metal plates?
I wanted to put LED interior bulbs in but not sure what sizes there are. I try it once & ended up blowing them all out. Randomly they work a few days later 🤷*♂️
I would love mudflaps on mine where do you buy them from?

I might spray my fog light surrounds too. Looks good i think match the main grill

List of major mods in sig, plus some visuals (foglamp cutouts, front grille etc) as seen. :}

Nice dubstop grill too?

How do you have the rings lighting up on your headlights?
I swear mine light up the centre lens?

Corr she is riding rather high though mate.

Should have one of those pinned posts in this C30/S40/V50 section similar to the other ones where we can just keep sharing pics of cars like "what have you done with your car recently"

Sounds like a great idea, but how do we do this?

Get a K&N panel filter or similar, don't both with a cone, they've been proven to produce less power than standard.
