This is my ride. A 2002 Volvo S60 T5 Geartronic, which I am currently modifying.

She started life as an Electric Silver T5 with black leather, black rubbing strips, standard bumpers, and 17" Tethys alloys shroud with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.

The Mods were to come....

The next stage was the alloys. Bought from the 'R' model range, came the 18" Pegasus alloys, all 4 wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's.

Then came the bumper...The whole kit from an 'R' Model, all 35 parts, fitted kindly by TMS Volvo in Hinckley.

Soon after the rubbing strips were colour matched to the body by Motofix in Northampton adding an air of elegance to the T5.

Then the 'R' dials were installed following a write up on Swedespeed, and using custom white cluster LED's to backlight. At the same time, the T5 was also RICA'd. It now had the power of an 'R' to go with the look...

This was followed by the S60R rear lip spoiler.

The suspension was to come. Eibach supplied the springs, whilst Koni FSD's were the choice of shock absorbers. Fitted by D&A Autos in Witney it completley transformed the T5 into an animal on the track.

Lastly but not the last was the newer '05 sleeker mirrors with chrome caps.

More recently I have updated the look even further with sleek LED day running lights from an Audi S6 which was modified by a BMW/Audi specialist in Northampton...
