As I joked before, my C30 is kind of becoming a money kit. I keep finding more and more cool little things for her. I have found my next three “upgrades” which are rather reasonably priced. I should never have stumbled upon the Genuine Volvo Accessories page...
First, door sills. I just really like how clean they look and currently the car has nothing down there; just metal that matches the paint color. For less than $50, these should be a cool addition to my interior.
Next, mudflaps! I didn’t actually realize my car didn’t have them until I saw them on the sight and went out to see. They are just nice to have and also hide the back of my tire much better.
Finally, a roof rack, or as Volvo calls it, a load carrier. Call me crazy, but I love how clean these look. They just seem to suit the car very well. Also, they are practical if I ever need to haul something like a bike or skis or something like a Christmas tree.
Just look how nice they look on the car!

*looks at red C30 and dreams of bad things*
If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you buy this for?

Glad I’m not crazy!
Friends thought it was a little odd since they wouldn’t be used much... but he has an XJ Cherokee with them and he hasn’t touched them once!

ipdusa.com is a dangerous and wonderful place for Volvo owners. Tread lightly.

As a former c30 owner,
Here’s my old one, they go for between 9-15k preface lift, 15-28k post face lift depending on year,
Mine was a 2011 r-design with a manual; bought it in 2013 for 23k with 15k on it

As a former Volvo owner, it was my favorite place to shop and dream of things I’d never get around to. I was this close to buying a high-performance camshaft, cam gear, and new belt when it was time to do my timing belt. It’s worth a look, but lock up your wallet first. Much like any high-quality tuning/aftermarket supplier, they’ll clue you in to wanting things you didn’t know you needed/wanted.
Dangerous, but wonderful.

That’ll probably be out of my reach, even in two years. Sweet car though

I was always on the fence abot mudflaps. I was tired of seeing the side of my car coated in salt sand. I can’t believe now clean it stayed after cleaning. Now I can’t go back.
