Ghost Shadow Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Recently had a minor traffic accident. Now since i am not at fault, insurance is paying for all the damage that was done to my C70.Damage is scratch front bumper, slight dent in driver fender, scratched the mirror, scratched the moulding on the drivers door, rear wheel well, and rear bumper. Thanks to DW volvo i will save ~$280 over my regular local dealer's wholesale pricing!Now since the insurance paid to refinish my c70 bumper a total 6hrs labor and paint $68per, the x70r bumper paid for itself. this is what i am looking like nowthis is what it will look like in saffron, i have these wheels. they just got back from the refinishers in a darker hyper silver. if i go "R" it will get the lip, eybrows.

DonutsDemise Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i voted no but that's just me. i love the way S70R's and V70R's look but the C70 is unique with its "roundness" and I like the way they come from the factory. however, in your situation i would probably go with the R stuff. i think either way they look great so it comes down to whether or not you want to spend a couple extra bucks on the R bumper and fogs. i do like the fact that it throws up a flag to other volvo enthusiasts that it's different, but as someone else said, no C70R badge pls.

C70drvr Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 The R bumper need some gentile mods if it's ever going to look right on a C70. The lines do not flow at all with the rest of the car. Yeah it's sporty, but tacked on looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanehutton Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I really don't like it at all. It is a pretty round car and a squared off R bumper doesn't fit. But I don't really even like them on the S that much either. I just wish you were closer cause I would love to have a C bumper on my S70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
