RBoy8 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 what The rims on your car are called Cetus... and don't normally come in Anthracite or "gunmetal"... and most people here don't really like them heh. Just out of curiousity, did you do any research when looking into buying this Volvo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick. Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 do you have any pics of the spring/strut combo? i'd be interested to see if it's on stock springs or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I think you are just a newb driver and you only think the car has good suspension. Remember that turbo you had? Just like the suspension. I'm sorry if I seem crass, but we told you there was no turbo on the car and there was no lotus package, but Noooo. We were wrong, when we were right.With kw's and sway bars the car doesnt handle like its on rails so lets not go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshV70 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Here's what you need to do with the car in my opinion. Change the grille back to black, either buy another OEM one, or go with a black aftermarket grille. Dye the front seats black, or sell those, and get black seats. Get 17" or 18" Volvo wheels with some nice sticky tires. Repaint or strip the paint off of the painted pieces under the hood. Lastly, get the car completely detailed (will make the car look much better trust me)! One more thing, take off all the badges on the back of the car.

RBoy8 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Get some covers or foglights to fill in those foglight holes (heck get some black mesh to and fit it into the holes). Oh man, do those blue seats look ricer-ish. I dunno I think I am also kinda liking the grill, looks different... *runs away* .EDIT: Ok, the more I look at that picture, the more I hate the grill .
