Hello! I’ve joined the forum to research and discuss potential upgrades for my 2008 Volvo S40 2.0 D SE.
I bought the car around 2 months ago and I’m really pleased - solid, smooth and a very nice looking car, finished in light grey.
Currently on approx. 103k miles and had a full clutch replacement at around 90k so hoping it will plough on for a good few years yet.
I’m going to be keeping it fairly simple to begin with as I feel my way into making changes. I come from a car mad family and have grown up watching my Dad tinker with Subarus over the years so between us we’ll do as much of the work as possible.
Shortlist of potential jobs:
- Air filter
- Brakes
- Stage 1 remap
- Wheels (refurb/replace)
- Paintwork (touching up small issues)
- Seats (repair)
- Styling: considering black wheels, black mirrors, darkened rear windows and “halo” headlights conversion.
Looking forward to talking over some of these in the community in the near future!
