Looks not hot in my opinion. The C70 is so smooth and sexy and the R bumper is so square and 'volvo-ish'. Then again, there aren't very many other options!?

somebody suggested shaving the sides of the bumper, I think it helps the look alot, if your gonna get it painted, you might as well get it done with it.

I heard there are some small fitment issues. However nothing to be massively concerned about. A good body shop should be albe to get it on no problems. I like the idea of shaving the side there....

The only fitment issue I believe is the styrofoam bumper reinforcement behind the bumper cover.The C bumper is a little rounder than the V and S bumper.But even without replacing the styrofoam it still is a good fit.

alright awesome.

yeah i have a saffron c70 just like that one below.

does anyone know were i could get that cf lip or if they still make it?

good luck finding a carbon fiber lip. I believe Afranke got the last new one and I doubt anybody would want to part with theirs.

I think the R bumper only looks good on the C70 with that crease smoothed out. The line doesn't continue down the body on a C70. Looks weird.

you are SOL on the CF lip, unless Frank has managed to get that mold. People were saying he tried to but not sure if he ended up getting it.

That saffron btw is Matt's (Saffron98) if you had any questions I am sure he could answer them. He isn't on very often though, so give him some time to get back to you.

Fits without any problems. There are quite a few people that have done this. Looks hot in my opinion.

definitely not true, for ONE the foam absorption bar is different which causes incorrect fitment among other issues that are not immediately apparent (fog lights and connectors, bottom trim under the bumper that connects to the frame, etc). it is doable but not without problems......................
