Volvo Virgin Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 It is pretty much a direct bolt on.The only diffs I believe are the fogs and their connectors,and the styrofoam bumper support is a slighlty different shape,but will work.Matt(saffron98)has done the conversion and can prolly help you out with a headsup if you contact him.

C70drvr Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Looks hot from the front. But from the side it throws off the lines of the car a bit too much. Some minor body work could fix that.Or you could just go all out EVOLVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aequitas_Veritas Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Here are some pics of it, although they are both pics I photoshopped with a black grill, although I think he ended up taking my advice and painting it, so it probably looks like this now anyways.

Nice PSing. The first pic looks dynamite. That silver grille he was rocking for the longest time was hideous on saffron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Looks good from the front but I'm not liking that angle shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C70drvr Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I just did a rough job here. It explains why I never liked the R bumper on the C70. There's that skirt line the S70 and V70 have that the C70 doesn't, so the R bumper on the C70 never seemed to fit. It clashed with the rest of the design. By eliminating that line, as seen in this picture, it starts with a smooth surface that is carried on the rest of the car.BeforeAfterIt's much like the 850R bumper. It has that smooth side profile look I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 That made a huge difference in my opinion. I still think from the profile that it would be too boxy for the C70. Any profile shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C70drvr Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Another problem with the R bumper is it's designed for the more angular wheel wells of the S/V70. the C70 wheel wells are completely rounded. So the bumper seems to intrude on the shape of the wells, throwing it off. I'm sure some more minor modification could solve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
