So, this is my MY00 Volvo S40 Phase II. I´ve owned it for a year now, and think its time for me to show it to the rest of you. I´m the second owner and it only has 100k kilometers on the clock. This is just the base type, 2.0L, automatic, no a/c and stuff like that.

 

Now, when I bought it, it was just a plain S40, nothing special about it. This is how it looked.

Now, after a year, I've bought some wheels for it, got them cheap and they don't look so bad. 15" original Volvo wheels to replace the steel ones. I dechromed the grille, the headlights and the front turnlights, debadged the rear, got some chome looking turn light bulbs to get rid of the orange effect in the turnlight mirrors, painted the sidemirrors black, tinted the windows, installed CB radio and probably something I'm forgetting.

 

So this is how it looks today.

Plans for the future are, 16-17" wheels, some lowering, repainting some areas, renewing headlight lenses and if I get the chance, swap the 2.0T motor and following components into it.

 

Just got some 16" wheels, tried them on, won´t be using them until spring.

 Best viewed fullsize.
