Just bought a 3.0 V6 estate
Discussion
As the title says just picked up a mint low mileage 9-5 estate with the 3.0T V6 engine. Bloody hell its quick. Its also very very smooth and very comfortable. I actually love it! The thing is - its perhaps just a little dull looking.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what I can do to it to make it a little more agressive looking?
I was thinking of new wheels and a body kit and maybe lowering it a tad, but I cant find anything on the web - anybody any ideas??

What age? I'd get yourself over to the Hirsch Website and take a look on SaabScene and Saab Central for some other ideas. ElkParts.com might have a few things as well.
Don't drive an Aero then if you think the 3.0V6t is quick 
There's not much in the way of body kit stuff available in this country. There is some stuff available in Sweden.
Also, is yours a pre-facelift or a post 01 facelift car?
There's a few options regarding wheels and suspension though. Eibach Pro stuff used to be the best option, because of the progressive Eibach springs, but not sure on it's availabilty for the 9-5 now, it may be discontinued?
Bilsteins dampers and a set of lowered springs are available, from the likes of Elkparts or Abbott Racing.
Wheels are more limited, loads of naff 'style' wheels out there, but not much in a 9-5 fitting though...the 42mm offset needed and correct centre bore size is often a problem with a lot of 5x110 alloys for sale.
The other issue is weight, the suspension on a 9-5 doesn't like heavy wheels, so reducing the unsprung weight is the best option, which does further reduce your options I'm afraid.
Rimstock/Team Dynamics do correct 9-5 fittment alloys and a few in a nice light weight as well.
