It would appear i can.   extra boost, less height and nice wheels on the cards, don't know enough about Volvos to pick and choose prettier parts from other models yet so will be seeing what i can do to improve its looks slowly, less will be more with this one i think. |

lowness and more boost is the way to go! There's not a lot of "pretty"volvo models so get bits from, but i think you can possibly put a more modern front on them with some work, how much work i don't know, i've seen it, but never managed to ask someone how much was involved in doing that.
Choice of wheels is a bit annoying for those with the silly pcd, but there are some much nicer volvo wheels about from the modern ones etc. not many with dish though

It's a late one so you already have the 'pretty' bits like the eggcrate grill and clear indicators. PCD, as I'm sure you know, is 5x108, which is Volvos, Ferraris, a few french things and modern Ford, though the offsets will all be totally wrong.
Excellent purchasements ;D

Jagua XF is also 5x108, still can't find any rims that really grab me though, need SOME dish, i really hate flat faced wheels.

you have the best bits matey, the egg crate grille, the clear front indicators and the rear red clear red
the best wheels you can get that are volvo genuines for these are galaxies. T5R replica 5 spoke wheels look nice. look on my project thread for something similar
hope you have loads of fun with it pal

plus shipping, plus tyres etc etc, i think the missus would have my guts for garters spending that on a 500 quid car. |

There is, however, some nice OEM wheels available too. home.blarg.net/~volvo242gt/wheels.htmlNote, 14 inch rims will not fit, nor will the 15 inch virgo alloy.  Missing there is the 17 inch "Polaris" alloy, also an OEM wheel. |
