Munch did you get it cheap..Could have had the V40 T4 ...
Right
Black bezel front lights from phase 2 s40 and black bezel front indicators..whats on mine now..You will pay through the nose though for them from a dealer...Check ebay
I got the headlights 2nd hand for £50 and indicators from dealer for £75 the pair.
Grill do a search for msdesigns on the net thats what mine is...
You will want smoked/clear bumper lenses too....get them from
http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/default.php?ref=8
Also smoked side repeaters too.
along with hundreds of other parts...

Tow bar negates the need for reverse parking sensors.
The black centre caps do look ghey though, but nice car.

Not a fan tbh, just about liked mav's which wasn't an estate had a good engine and wheels etc etc
23 is not young insurance wouldn't have been that expensive.
