Aequitas_Veritas Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 were would i be able to get that bumper cause that looks really good to.Go custom. You would have to design it yourself. I think thats just a photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exexpat Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I can't feel an unmodified V70R bumper on the C70. The factory one is better IMO. Now, like Patrick said, if you can fill the break lines on the lower sides and make a convex curve that matches your current bumper, I think it may be better.

C70drvr Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 The current bumper is beautiful in it's own way, but I will admit it is a tad bland. A simple lip (minus the ugly splitters) really enhances the look and pulls the front end down to the ground beefing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hey guys,The R bumper swap was relatively easy to do. Definitely would recommend getting the proper bumper foam. Im not sure what the proper name is but the black plastic section that is visible in the center with the hood open should be replaced as well. Concerning the bumper some people like it, some don't. My stock bumper was shot and one of the local guys here(thanks again Rob) happened to have an extra R bumper sitting around. Overall im happy with the R bumper on the car with the lip and will probably keep it that way for awhile. Now, if someone would produce the photoshopped bumper(which is my car as well, lol) I would be all over it like a fat kid on a cupcake. Definitely aren't too many bumper options for the C without going custom.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvo Virgin Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Wow...that is the hottest thing I've seen on a C70 yet.Nice PS.The biggest thing I dislike about the stock C bumper is the horizontal splitter going from side to side,and the overall shallow contour of the bumper.The V70R bumper is the best easy option,tho granted it would look better with a little custom work on the lower sides as mentioned.Matt who? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I agree. Now to find someone who can make that bumper. Anyone know of a good bodyshop around Philadelphia? Rob, what's up buddy? I know, I know. Haven't been on much but im done with classes until January. Back to only having 16 hour days now!Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
