That was the other one I saw, both look cool and would suit your car perfectly!

My work here is done [B)]

today was spent installing HIDs into the fogs, retinted them to a more yellow look and i resprayed all the grill from matte black to gloss black. Gloss black looks soo much better IMO

Mine and the Monsterwraps 'interceptor' volvo C30 :)

the fogs are lovely and bright that i can use them as dipped beam without blinding people :)

i was gonna fit a set of 4300k HIDs for the dipped but when i put one in it turned out to be more like a Halogen!!

New arb solved all the issues with lowering? I want a 40mm drop on springs and shocks but heard there are issues with driveshaft too - appreciate your comments

I never actually fitted it but yes it would have solved the problems and yeah about 40mm the drivers side driveshaft starts rubbing on the anti roll bar. Dont believe people when they say adjustable droplinks work...they dont ive been there done that. Made it worse in fact. If you search "big loop anti roll bar" in ebay the one I bought should be on there was about 80 quid if I remember correctly
