Being given a 2012 v70... wondering about upgrade options...

2dogsandaV70 · Jun 30th, 2024, 03:58

Hi there. New to the forum. I'm about to take ownership of an old but well maintained v70 2.4 d5. I would love to make it look a bit cooler (subtly) and since its well run in I wonder if I could treat it to a stage 1 remap. Ive heard lowering it kills the handling but I would love stick some 19" rims on it. Love to hear from people who have upgraded their v70s and see some photos. Cheers, Dan
(As an example, i love this... think it has a Bodykit and bigger rims? https://www.magnatuning.com/en/produ...irt-Extensions)

Hello and welcome!

You will find most menbers on here like our motors just as they left the factory, albeit a few subtle tweeks, but less is definitely more in the world of Volvo ownership.

Thanks. Thats all good info. I guess I'll be making a similar list in a few weeks. All the best,
Dan
