Default Styling for the V50 2007 1.6d? s40/v50 same body?

Hi there chaps!

I really enjoy this car and while it does have 221k on it, it has next to no rust and apart from some minor issues seems to be a car i could keep for a while. Its the first car ive owned that isnt a complete wreck and i'd love to style it. Got any tips on that, can i buy parts for an s40 and have it fit the v50? Any tips are welcome!

I do believe its a pre facelift as its a late 2007 registered but im not 100% sure. How can i tell the difference?







Im the end i'd love to have something looking like this but not quite as low

Some staggered wheels and losing the trailer hitch would be a great start. ;-)

Look for S40 parts for most of it - I would guess that there aren't many sources for the V50 variant, so I'm not sure what you'd be able to do to the rear half of the car...

Thanks, That helps me know what to look for.

I came across this one that seems pretty stock. Has Air suspension on it and a fab vinyl wrap. Aubergine bronze matte by the looks of it so i might just go that route first.
