Plenty of tweaking you have planned :)

[sdsupaintballplayer]

that DTM front splitter isnt gonna fit your car

[RT440ed]

that DTM front splitter isnt gonna fit your car

It isnt? Its meant for 1993 > 1996 Volvo 850's...?

[t5 stealth]

that splitter is similar to mine,i had the option ot that 1 & the one iv got fitted...
diffrence was the mesh slit in it...
should bolt up to the bumpe same as mine im guessing.

yeah thats mine....i didnt pay that for it tho lol.

[RT440ed]

Hmm, looks a fair bit better too, looks more OEM than a bold on job, Nice one! cheers

[stainesy]

hello mate nice car. good luck with the mods. you are not to far from me. im just down the road in dunstable

[t5 stealth]

there it is fitted

[RT440ed]

looks great Stealth (nice heads too), i guess I'm gonna go with that instead then :P

[t5 stealth]

cheers,
they r standard headlights..........
i just painted the outer lense that isnt used then fitted lense covers which i tinted before i fitted so it protects the paint & it dont flake of,

[AndysR]

http://www.dcp-shop.co.uk/buy-car-accessories/product_info.php?cPath=167_3632&products_id=2692

Looks more like a genuine Volvo accessory from the picture, quite close to the style of the R front bumper :)

[AndysR]

there it is fitted

Got any closer shots of the headlights ? :)

[t5 stealth]

ok see if this works lol

[AndysR]

ok see if this works lol

Cheers, makes a hell of a difference to the look of the front of the car, do you think that could be done for more permant effect by removing the glass from the headlight and actually painting the reflector itself??

[t5 stealth]

i dont think it would work as the pattern is produced by the glass & not the reflector,
the out side of the lense isnt used for the pattern,if you look close at the glass its actually got the sort of circle around it,the light is thrown through the centre part of the glass,i just painted it to see if it would work & it did,doesnt affect the beam either as i checked it with a beam tester...
the lense covers are from volvo,i just used that spray tint on the inside of the covers then it dont get a hammering from the weather,stones etc..
i only did it cos i was gona get those after market 4 headlights but they look a bit cheap & not very well put together so i didnt bother......
if it didnt work i could use a stanley blade to remove it lol.....

[850twr]

seems a bit excessive to me for whats a bottom of the range model, get a T5!! :p lol

[stainesy]

ok see if this works lol

and im the one that gets stick off people for a couple of stickers LOL :haha:

sorry it looks odd to me.

[volvokid]

and im the one that gets stick off people for a couple of stickers LOL :haha:

I got to agree with you there dude lol. But yours is still a rare colour.

[Loadsamiles]

I got to agree with you there dude lol. But yours is still a faded colour.

:duck:

[stainesy]

:duck: But yours is still a faded colour

faded????

funny you should say that. when i first got my gull T-5 R my mates kept saying is it fadded yellow. the amount of times i have to say NO thats the colour it is LOL

[RT440ed]

seems a bit excessive to me for whats a bottom of the range model, get a T5!! :p lol

But how many heads would go flying if i was to do all that to a T5? I do like the T5's, i have to admit. My dad used to have a '96 2.3 T5 850, and i loved it. but for my first car, the one i have at the moment will be high enough on insurance, i needn't put my costs sky hight for a bit more thrill :P if i have this car long enough (untill i'm around 20) i'll drop in a 2.4 from a GLT along with it's 5spd manual and tweak that :D

sorry it looks odd to me.

each to there own............
