c30 on the rise...

[UnadoptedPuppy]

Hey guys. Long time lurker, but with graduation imminent I'll finally have the dough to throw into my car. Speaking of...

My daily driver, a 2011 Volvo c30. 6 speed, moon-roof, power seats, otherwise stock.








I have done literally nothing to this car, sadly. But I do have plans..
-Coilovers
-Wheels, maybe BLQs to start things off
-Badgeless grill
-Replace interior trim
-Do something about the terrible exterior plastic trim (need serious advice here)
-Elevate tune, exhaust, etc...

Looking for inspiration/motivation (and help) to make this Volvo something special. My only automobile experience has been getting this bad boy mechanically sound...



...which was sweet, I learned a lot, but I know little about modern suspensions.

Cheers!

Truck>c30 lol

Interesting to see what you do with this.

I'm exited for this... very uncommon car to see stanced. Give it static

and yeah, gold blq's or bbs's would look badass

C30's are awesome platforms. I believe not many of them are stanced, which is unfortunate since they really look good low. Lol.

Anyway, here's some inspiration for ya.





I'd imagine they'd look great on BBS CH-Rs but BLQs aren't too bad either. Goodluck with the build!

Sweet ride.

What engine do you have? Please say B525T...

[UnadoptedPuppy]

Thanks for the responses and wheel recommendations!

Dude I agree! Unfortunately it was my dad's, who sold it last week. Fortunately we have another...

...but it ain't mine to modify. Pops wants to 'keep it classy.'

Indeed. Such a fun engine, even stock.

Does anyone know anything about rolling c30 fenders? The plastic trim makes it seemingly impossible, but I've seen rolled c30s before.

Pull off the plastic trim, roll the fender, pop trim back on. If you pull or roll the fender enough, you have to gut the arch cover and use double sided tape to refit it.

Good base to work with, I love my C30.
