"MyNameIdeasWereTaken's " gave me the idea of making one thread with all the modifications I do on my car ![]()
That way you guys can have an idea of who I am and what I did/do to my car.
Litlle introducing of myself:
IRL my name is Leemans Jeroen (hence the nickname
)
I live just under Brussels, Belgium
Born 9th october of 1987.
I work as an Industrial Designer as main job, and after my hours I work on cars and rims.
My daily drive for the past two years is a Volvo Momentum 2.0D in Titanium Grey.
I'm not planning to over do the volvo, just do the basics of a nice car ![]()
I have another project in my garage to go crazy on ![]()
Current modlist:
- Xenon-look high and mainbeam
- LED city light
- LED licenseplate lights

- Blanked off the EGR (mechanicaly and electricaly)
- Modified my standerd airbox to atach an cold air feed that goes under the bumper

Then last week I drove 220km to go buy an creme/beige leather interior.
some pics to show how a V50 looks with two interiors ![]()



Changed my interior from black Dala Tec to beige leather.
Wasn't a complete 100% easy change because my passengerseat had the height/tilt adjustment and the new leather one was just a basic one.
So took the two seats apart and changed everything of my old seat onto the new leather one ![]()
didn't take pictures of every step but you get an idea of the work involved:










All mounted. Pics arent the greatest, took them quickly this noon with my iPhone...
