Parts for P1 to P2 cosmetic upgrade

[beanobunty]

Hi all,

Just bought myself a '98 V40 2.0i Auto and from reading through the forum a fair bit, it looks like I've landed a phase 1.

I'm looking to do a bit of upgrading and looking for:

- An egg crate front grille

- P2 Headlights, indicators and rear lights

- Some new wheels, I don't know any of the names of the models but the ones I've got are pretty kerbed up. (incidentally if anyone can put pictures of the different wheel models and names - that'd be great!)

If anyone is breaking one or can a recommend a good London breaker I can go and visit, brilliant.

Thanks!

I'm going to reply to my own thread here...

What do you guys think of these?

Does a 4 pin connection mean I have to mod the connections I have?
And does anyone have any opinion of the quality of 'Energized Customs'?

Where about London are you? Have a set of chrome bezelled headlights, as well as another set of black with chrome rings. Siamblue who is down the road from me has complete Phase 2 rear lights.
I have a set of Ares 16" alloys too. I am in Barking, East London/Essex

You can get a set of second hand pair genuine ones for £50. If you decide to buy the ones in Amazon, you will also need to find 2 levelling motors, as they come without them. With regards to the connectors, yes, you will have to cut the existing ones in your car and do a bit of re-wiring. There are a few guides out there of how to do it

Hi Gatos,

I'm up in Camden. I'd be well up for having a look at your headlights and wheels - got any pics?

Otherwise I can come and have a look in person and visit Siamblue while I'm there - I'm off up to Scotland for a week on Saturday though so it won't be for a little while.

Thanks.

I will get some photos here later on tonight. You are more than welcome to come over if you want and you can pick my brains with whatever questions you have about the car

Sounds great, I'll take a look at those photos later tonight and get back at you after I'm back down south.

Cheers.
