new volvo v40

[rossmc88]

A few years ago, I got a ride in this T5-R:



Ever since, I have wanted a Volvo estate

After searching for ages, I came across this from Scoobysn7x in Glasgow





It's nice and low mileage - 71K
Full service
Top spec T4 sport with winter pack - heated seats and factory fitted HIDs
New mintex discs and pads all round with braided hoses and 5.1 brake fluid

I bought some ultra racing front and rear strut braces from belle on here for the ultra great price of £80 delivered
I'd highly recommend the quality of the ultra racing braces

Fitted them today





I've also fitted some genuine bosch aero wipers as the cheapo aero wipers it had kept leaving a streak right in the drivers view, was driving me mental

These are a great way to spend £18 since it's always raining up here in Scotland

I've ripped out the sony CD changer it had, sorry scooby, and i'm fitting a Sony single DIN unit with Bluetooth, so I can stream music from my phone. I hope it doesn't look too chav-tastic.



If it does, it will fit in with the burger king wheels it has (anyone want to swap for some good craters?)

I'm going to buy a genuine volvo din pocket from rufus. I'm thinking wiring it in is going to be fun with the factory volvo sub and amp

Let me know how the stereo is I am looking at the 3900 for mine.

I love them rims, I think you would be mad to get rid of them for anything less than arcadia's.

If I had not got too many parts to buy for the volvo already, I'd offer you some money for them as they would look great on my v40.

My pal has a 3900, I'll let you know how it compares. Do you have the built in sub/amp?

Don't get me wrong, they are good wheels, straight with 4 matching good tyres, but I think they look a bit corsa VXR and some black or anthracite craters would match the gold colour better

The sub is in the boot yes?

From what I've read, having that makes wiring more entertaining

Nice car, i randomly ended up with it parked next to me at the Transport Museum in Glasgow just before you bought it. Now youve got it, its literally 2min away from me! (I live in Stenton!) Whats the chances.

Ive just sold a set of Arcadias aswell! They would have looked good in black on it.

Enjoy mate!

Haha that's handy to know you are in Stenton! I grew up in Pitteuchar before emigrating to Kinglassie

How much did you sell the Arcadia's for?

You mean it's not a case of adapter and just plug it in?
