Hi there,
Introduced to the forum a few days ago by Aston,
Heard you're all really friendly, welcoming and helpful guys.
I drive a white 2010 Rdesign c30.
A few modifications
Sam

Welcome to the forum, really liking the look of your C30, though not keen on the grille.

HI Sam even though I am sitting next to you I enjoyed our scrap yard run even though it was pointless :)

Hi & welcome,I think you might one of the first with a C30.
Nice looking car,how much did you lower it by ?.
Post 686085 by Samlee on 2014-02-01 12:38:54
Hi :)
It's lowered by far too much. But not enough at the same time.
It should be about 100mm according to the coil over instructions. But with removal of rear cups and front helpers it's a lot more than that. Possibly 130mm? But don't hold me to it.
It is a unique grille for this car though ;)

Might I add that grill was a pain to make :(

It certainly is, just think it would look better in black. ;)

So potholes & speed bumps are not much fun then !,black horns would look better in my eyes but it's you motor.

Nice looking car. I fitted a mesh grille on my C70 and still can't decide if I like it or not. I might spray the original black and try that.
Like most things, it's what you like that is important :)

Welcome to Vpc liking your ride very nice
Post 686105 by V70 Graham on 2014-02-01 14:39:43
Welcome, the grille looks ok, just move the horns !
Post 686107 by LiamT4 on 2014-02-01 14:42:48
Looks good, but more importantly, what engine??
Post 686110 by Samlee on 2014-02-01 15:52:26
It's only a little D2, all I could afford to insure when I bought it last year. But I've got plans for a D4 to be dropped in. (Obviously not a standard D4)
Post 686114 by abdul on 2014-02-01 16:10:19
Welcome to the forum loove the car especially the wheels
Post 686115 by LiamT4 on 2014-02-01 16:13:50
Wouldn't it just be easier to get a d4 and make it look like that than put another engine in?
Post 686116 by Samlee on 2014-02-01 16:15:52
It would be cheaper to buy the engine and drop it in.
Going to spend a long time building it up.
Making it more powerful and what not.

Welcome to the fold, do like these late C30's and the wheels and suspension drop suit it, not 100% sure on the grille and I'd move the horns of it were mine but other than that it looks superb. I see the car came from Chelmerbridge car garage, that's not that far from me...

Welcome, Great looking c30, Love the wheels to relocate the horns and it would be even better. Nice to see a different Volvo on here, breath of fresh air :)
