couldn't really find a good spot so i'll post this here:

hey all! i'm sam, 22 from belgium.
i won't talk too much but take a moment to check out the volvo ;)

it all started on the 7th of april last year.

the saxo had to go for a new volvo C30. here's the story

(IMG:http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/5541/img2458rc7.jpg)

your average volvo, black, 17" alloys, medium trim level.

wheels and suspension work, later that year, this is around half july

(IMG:http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/985/10xj1.jpg)

these are black 18x8 Brobet XL rims, and a 10 mm line air suspension set + some details like sport mats and all that
