Anyone ever cut up an S70 front bumper and attach it (cleanly) to an 850? I love the R bumper, but I want to be a little different using factory parts.

Current homemade chin...

i was thinking about doing this, and i was gonna do it as soon as summer hit, but the guy that was gonna give me his bumper gave it to uncleboost and still no word from UB and his progress, jus him saying its on the way, ....
but anyways.... it can be done, its juss gonna be a PITA to do. i was gonna do it.

You can throw on a V70 front bumper, IIRC.
I have a pic on my other comp... beautiful car in Sweden that the guy did that on.

any s/v70 bumper should fit on the 850's too, there pretty much the same car

I have some of the links on my server, I'll link 'em when I get home.

it won't fit w/out some mods
like s70 hood & fenders as well have to go along w/ the s70 bumper

If I recall Correctly

someone correct me if I'm wrong

You're right, but I'm looking at slicing the S/V70 along the top seam and keeping the top (black) part of my bumper. assuming the bumpers are the same length, just getting the seam of the corner upswing-to-fender-lip pieces to disappear will be difficult.

This is my old 86 Golf. As you can see, I'm used to some pretty radical (but factory-inspired) mods:

@850Tu2bo....
Hey its yours man when we finish the Tooling. Once I get the R Bumper from Ryan which should be soon, we will begin the tooling. Once I take my stock bumper off, we will see exactly what it will take to adapt an S70 bumper to an 850. It all takes time but the biggest hurdle is getting the bumpers to copy and we are 1/2 way there. You guys wanted S70 and 850R bumpers....We got the S70, waiting on the 850 R to get going with the whole project....
I have been busy painting crotch rockets for street stunters, exhibisionist, and a few AMA dudes since the weather is getting warmer hear so my time is spread thin as peanut butter these days....But I will give you the bumper once we finish the tooling. I only needed it for that.

i went to the volvo dealers around my house and asked them about this deal orcoupon and they said they have nothing like that, so im kinda like
...and i think the stuff UB is making should be cheeper, but he still has not given a rage forhow much hes looking to charge.
