Ian's Saffy V70 R

[Tomcat]

I have been looking for a custom rear since I had the car Craig but cannot find one for sale... It shouldn't look too bad, well we all thought it looked ok at the Body shop. :smile:

I made a custom rear for the 850 bumper I'm sure I could make some moulding of the add on bits if your interested?

[iancho]

That's kind very of you to offer Craig I would be interested :smile:

[Tomcat]

Ok, I'll dig it out this weekend and take some pics first.

[volvokid]

Ive seen one with two rear bumpers joined together, i know I'm not selling it very well but it looked good from what I remember.

[iancho]

I wait in anticipation Craig :smile:

Martyn if you think that 2 Bumpers looked good joined together, then that's good enough for me :smile:


I've looked for years on the European forums but can never seem to find any that are for sale... I spent 100's of hours trying to source them and eventually gave up through frustration...

Which two bits was it?

[iancho]

Nearly ready.... :smile:

As it was Friday everyone was in high spirits... Here is me and Steve.... He does the maintenance on my car, His partner Jason is on Holiday at the Mo... These guys have saved me Thousands over the years and even worked out of hours to keep the costs down.

Sorry Jamie I was on the Headlight thread.... Martin is correct mate I already have the Black Side Repeaters, Thanks for the Suggestion though :smile:

[M-R-P]

I wasn't 100% on the repeaters, that's why I didn't commit to a definitive answer (never pick a fight if you don't know weather or not you'll win lol)

[iancho]

Full side - on shot please Ian :D

I couldn't get one martin as there is a Huge Puddle Opposite and I had my best Shoes on :smile:

[V70 Graham]

Hopefully ready for TRAX.....you have bought tickets by now I hope :biggrin:


Oh yeah it should be ready by the end of the week Graham.... Hopefully! Yes mate I did get my TRAX tickets, I am really looking forward too it.... Seeing so many Volvo's and Members all in one place... I'm very excited!

I was hoping the 19's would be ready for TRAX.... I did tell him I wanted them ready for September but you can never tell lol :smile:

[volvokid]

You still need to make your mind up with the colour haha. Have you taken the tyres off

[partsforvolvos.com]

the headlight thread made me realise how much nicer the blocked grille looks compared to the old mesh one.

[iancho]

[WOODY T5]

oh she is looking very nice mate defo 19s i think tho:)

[Tomcat]

Mmmmmm so nice.... the 19's do suit it...

[partsforvolvos.com]

Nice ! rear bumper needs an extension lip or bottom diffuser type trim so it is the same low height as skirts and front?

next custom part?

[Tomcat]

I mentioned to Ian that I made a custom rear bumper some time ago, going to dig it out when I get a spare 5 mins..

[iancho]

oh she is looking very nice mate defo 19s i think tho:)

Cheers Dean she does sit better with the 19's :smile:


Mmmmmm so nice.... the 19's do suit it...

It will look nice when it's finished Craig and 19's are refurbed :smile:

next custom part?

I know what you mean Jamie but it actually looks better in real life.... I wasn't sure if I was going to like this Mod and was 50/50 about doing it, but when I saw it today I was surprised and pleased how good it looked...... Thank God!



I have so many ideas Jamie but the one I cannot get out of my mine recently is..... an Air Scoop for the front Bonnet in the center.... I've been thinking about this Mod for a few years :smile:

[iancho]

Here is a better one of the New Mudflap

[M-R-P]

Ian, if you put a scoop on it I'm gonna send the boys round!

There's a fine line between styling silliness and you may be about to cross it lol.

Want it wrapped? :D

Car's looking great Ian, but don't thank Frankie for previously owning a car like the one you now have, otherwise we'll all have to thank him,he's owned pretty much every car there is. ;)

[volvokid]

Those alloys look totally different from the back ones they look much better, whats the difference? my reps look like the front ones

[iancho]

Just some of his ideas I've used and want to give Credit where it's due :smile:

He really was THE Frontrunner in this Country a few years ago when it came to Owning a Saffy and I Still Admire him for his Ideas and Creativeness....

I think YOU SHOULD ALL thank him! :hilarious

[iancho]

Those alloys look totally different from the back ones they look much better, whats the difference? my reps look like the front ones

The difference is that you ALWAYS buy Quality and I couldn't afford the Real thing at the time so had to settle for these £100 each Replicas :(

Very true mate, unfortunately he was also the frontrunner at killing one. ;)

He somehow manages to kill them all in his pursuit to be the fastest.... Nothing like a Trier :smile:

[T5frankie]

are you saying the back ones look better? they have no shape to them

[volvokid]

Mine are replicas to on my Saffy......

[volvokid]

are you saying the back ones look better? they have no shape to them

IMO yeah they look far better, I don't want to knock Ian but the other ones don't look as close to an original copy, and that was the look I wanted when I bought my reps.

[T5frankie]

IMO yeah they look far better, I don't want to knock Ian but the other ones don't look as close to an original copy, and that was the look I wanted when I bought my reps.

no mate you're getting them the wrong way round 19's are proper copies, the 18's have just straight square edges

[volvokid]

no mate you're getting them the wrong way round 19's are proper copies, the 18's have just straight square edges

I'm actually confused, what do you mean proper copies??? are they both replicas? but from different manufacturers or something?

[T5frankie]

I'm actually confused, what do you mean proper copies??? are they both replicas? but from different manufacturers or something?

you need to look at them closely one are cheapo ones and they look like it and the others have a much better design with angles off the spokes

[S70T5Chris]

Some copies are better than other's. But I wouldn't be happy with any of the replicas. They just look wrong to me.

But the car looks awesome Ian.

[iancho]

You could never knock me Martyn as I know you wouldn't be nasty, this is an open Forum and If I want to put pictures of my car on here I can expect good and bad comments. I realise my Saffy is not everyone's cup of tea, Positive and Negative reactions are always welcome :smile:


I'm actually confused, what do you mean proper copies??? are they both replicas? but from different manufacturers or something?

Sorry my mistake... What I meant to say was that you probably bought a better quality replica than me :smile:

Yeah you have to see them in the flesh mate.... Frank hates mine!

Very true Chris, you can't beat an Original.... Cheers mate :smile:

[S70T5Chris]

Very true Chris, you can't beat an Original.... Cheers mate :smile:

I just have some weird aversion (is this a word, or have I just made it up?!) to replica Pegs!! The 19's look like the same manufacture as the replicas I had. Best of the copies I've seen. Shame they never made 19's from the factory!

yeah, also the same ones sharkey has

[stribo]

Yep, and Sharkeys don't look like reps.

[T5frankie]

Yep, and Sharkeys don't look like reps.

they are very nice wheels, i wouldnt have the other copies if they were given to me lol

[volvokid]

The only thing that gives all of them away is the R but tbh I used to prefer them over genuine one but I think the snob in me has came out and I prefer originals now

[S70T5Chris]

Yep, and Sharkeys don't look like reps.

Yes they do!!!

[T5frankie]

put the fact that they are reps aside, they are a lovely looking wheel in their own right and i prefer them over original 18's

[volvokid]

put the fact that they are reps, they are a lovely looking wheel in their own right and i prefer them over original 18's

They certainly dont look like a cheap alloy

[iancho]

If i'm honest I like both Originals and Reps they can both add too how a car looks in different ways...

Funny you should say that Jim but I thought the same... I thought it was just my eyes but if your thinking it aswell then we must be right!

[Jamest5r]

Funny you should say that Jim but I thought the same... I thought it was just my eyes but if your thinking it aswell then we must be right!

I did read the thread earlier on my phone but didn't comment because of the quality of the pics on it, but looking now and yes had a few shandy's :) but it defo don't match to me, maybe some younger member's with better eye sight/paint knowledge will come along.

Edit, see TC on this thread what's your opinion?

[iancho]

It's close enough for me Jim and they are good lads down there so I wouldn't complain as they do me lots of favours :smile:

[V70 Graham]

Maybe the car just needs a clean, might have picked up some dirt/dust sitting around.

[stribo]

Plus the angle of the skirts is different to the angle of the doors. That having been said, I've always found that paint sprayed onto plastic/GRP never matches paint sprayed onto metal.

[iancho]

Always kind words Graham :smile:


Dunno mate it could be the angle of the skirts against the car or it could be a miss-match, not much I can do about it :smile:

[iancho]

Plus the angle of the skirts is different to the angle of the doors. That having been said, I've always found that paint sprayed onto plastic/GRP never matches paint sprayed onto metal.


I was thinking the same steve about the angle and the light... Plus Saffron is notoriously difficult to match perfectly everytime

[M-R-P]

Nope. I think it's about as close as it'll get.
The texture will be diffeent between the new and old paint and will be for some time. I've been looking closely at the pics (on a 42" 1080P screen) and the paint colour looks spot on, the reflection from the top coat is a lot clearer - that'll calm down after a few washes and waxes and it'll look perfect.

That's my opinion any-hoo :)

Cheer's mate, im looking at it on a crappy lappy and beer googles :) i know Ian would not settle for near perfect.

[M-R-P]

Got my beer goggles on now and I can't remember what I'm looking at :D

They aren't quite that fussy, they seemed to like our lights/RIP kit this year

[Biff]

I look at yours... And I'm absolutely puzzled as to how I can compete. It's stunning mate & although I feel I have to be different (as I don't like to imitate) there are so many parts I'd like on mine.
Your car rules the saffys.

The apprentice.

[WOODY T5]

Ooh that's mint mate one of the best saffy's around well done on your work

[t5 pete]

As everyonr else has said your car is probably to best saffy v70r out there at present and can't wait to get some good shot's of it on the Great Orme Run ( with the thrown in Evo Dash )

Cheers Adrian, I'm really looking forward to combining the two runs and seeing your car after the RR pics.... it's a 4hr drive for me but well worth it :)

I'm currently furiously rubbing my engine.... sanding down the last bits to get it ready for TRAX :)

Thats the only problem with doing a polishing job like that is where do you stop and how to keep it looking nice ?

I would never attempt it again Adrian it's a ridiculous amount of work, very slow and fiddly. I only have the 4 Blocks at the back to complete and it's finished. I usually try and get out at 5 or 6am and put a few hours in before the wife gets up.

As for how to keep it looking nice?..... it seems to be holding up quite well with a little Auto Sol but the winter will be the real tester.

[V70 Graham]

What's happening with the wheel Ian, will it be done for TRAX ?

Funnily enough Graham I went to see him this morning and told him the Paint has Started to peel.... He Crapped himself!


He said he will get it done ready for TRAX thank God I have a Spare 19 so I don't have to take them all off :smile:


I must say with Bran New Tyres they are not too bad a ride actually.... Plus they have the added bonus of slowing me down which cannot be a bad thing in itself as I'm usually worrying about tickets everytime I go out somewhere.

[iancho]

Finally Finished the Engine Bay Ready for TRAX.... I NEVER want to attempt this again, it has taken me Months to Complete!

[S70T5Chris]

Looks bloody excellent mate, a lot of hard work gone into that!! No.2 for me.

I used to have the full set of Wooty Bits on the S70, a few years ago. The only bits that I actually think look good now, and improve over the standard bits are the spark plug and fuel rail covers. The rest of the bits look a bit like 'Ripspeed stick on' stuff. Defo remove the throttle cover from the top mount too! If it was mine i'd also lose the Pipercross filter, it just looks out of place IMO.

[T5RatherAmusin]

the bling dont look bad bud, had the worxs done on my ol v6...
have you thort of orange carbon dipper instead of the chrome tho?
you can also get a better fitting piper filter to go straight over the maf without the use of the coupler...

Cheers Chris if it wasn't for TRAX coming up I would never of finished it..... I was Sooooo fed up with Sanding and Cramp, I'd lost all interest (never realising it was going to be so difficult) and wasn't bothered anymore!

I agree with you Chris but I do Love Shiny!.... some of the parts do look a bit naff but there is not much choice out there unless I went down the dipping route....As for the throttle cover, it looks so weird but I'm gonna keep it lol
Thanks for your comments Chris I love it when people are honest and say what they like or dislike it gives me food for thought :)

I have thought of Orange carbon dipper but I thought it would be to much Orange, I think the Balance is about right at the moment. This is only One of many ideas I had... The Piper filter looks very interesting, thank you for being so kind as to share it with me and for your honest comments :)

Cheers Gav Never ever again mate, paint next time!.... I'm sure our paths will cross one day mate as I'm really interested to see your motor as I now appreciate and admire how much time you must of spent on your engine bay after trying to clean mine this week and giving up!
I still have to Clay Bar and Machine Polish it before TRAX so no doubt I shall be secretly admiring you and your hard work again :)

Thanks for your nice comments Graham your always very kind, I'm really excited to be seeing you again in 2 weeks it's been far too long since we met up and I'm missing your humour! :hilarious

Thanks matey I like No3 too :)


I would like to thank you all for your kind and encouraging comments throughout my project, this is a really Great Club full of very kind, honest and friendly people whom all mean a lot to me in there own ways.... Thanks for your support Guys it means an awful lot! :B_thumb:

[Biff]

Fair play to you Ian, you have a lot more patience than me. I spent years buffing & polishing when I fabricated aerospace parts & it's very labour intensive.
The bullion will never have such attention put on her but she's a lot rougher than yours anyway. ;)
Take my hat of too you & made me chuckle with the getting up at 5am comment, that's dedication!

Cheers Dave I reckon 200+ hours of rubbing it's not perfect but I'm so fed up of rubbing I'll be damned if i'm going to mess with it anymore as you well know you can loose the Shine and have to Start again!

I do nearly all my work on the car in the early mornings before anyone else is up mate... before family life starts it's my only chance sometimes and I enjoy the peace and quite.... Only trouble is I'm up at 4.30 am on workdays so when it's my days off I never let myself lie in if there is work to do on the motor.... Some days I'm on my knees by the afternoon lol

[Biff]

I'd have plenty of auto sol & "wheel wax" on it by winter. Give it a good coat so corrosion doesn't set in. It's all about keeping the moisture & oxygen away. Lol
I'm an early bird since my shifts changed. I like it. Lol

[Tomcat]

Crap Ian that's some awesome work you've done there, your making it really difficult for me to catch up,lol.. Just for future reference a bench grinder fitted with a buffing wheel and using the right compound makes light work of polishing jobs like that, you'll even get a better finish (though it does mean taking the manifold off the car).

[MoleT-5R]

Thanks matey I like No3 too :)

lol cheers Craig it just gives you something higher to aim for! lol

I really wanted a small grinder and even bought the pads (which I had to use by hand :cry:) But I have no electricity in the garage spent hours looking for a cordless one but too no avail.... This was the result of yesterdays rubbing which is nothing compared to previous times... Cuts everywhere lol

Can cause a lot of problems on our cars especially with the silicone hoses!

Spent 5hrs this Morning Giving all my Hard Work a Final Polish before TRAX....To bring out the Shine now I've finished Sanding. I thought it's worth showing you Guys how well the end Result Looks.... Even I was Impressed, it looks as Shiny as the Chrome Attachments.

Just caught up with the tread, car looks lovely. There are a few bits which aren't to my taste but they go with the overall look of the car and the car stands out as a car that someone cares for. Your hard work is definitely "shining" through and it's a pleasure to see someone looking after one of these rather than breaking it for spares :)

[MoleT-5R]

as if you really care ... as long as it does bark, pop or bang and spit out balls of fire you don't really mind what it looks like under the bonnet, except when it comes to some carbon dipping....lol

hit the nail on the head there Steve, people will love or hate this, I personally think it could look quite nice but I'm still on the fence at the moment......

[M-R-P]

Ian, didn't I say something about pimp-slapping you if you put a vent on that thing?!?

The only way I can see it working is if it's right at the top pf the bonnet, facing the windscreen as an out-flow vent. Will you be cutting the bonnet to make it actually work or will it just be cosmetic? If you cut the bonnet, expect all your shiny engine bits to not stay shiny for long - winter's coming and all that water and road salt...:(

I know it's your car and I really want you to do whatever makes you happy but you're treading a very thin line here bud. I just don't want to see a wanted thread appear in a few weeks for a saffy bonnet.

[Tomcat]

Err.....I'm gonna reserve judgement until I see it painted and fitted, but I kinda concur with MRP's comments about your shiny engine components not staying shiny.

[claymore]

I think it might look ok, and at the end of the day it's only a bonnet, if you don't like it you can just stick another bonnet on.

[T5RatherAmusin]

good to see a happy chappie! :D
even if it is in way of the jets. they can easily be repositioned wider of even to to scuttle maybe...
they did look good in pics you sent me. even the slots match the look to your grill :)
i knew the vents i went for would be hit or miss. shudda seen the abuse i was getting from another forum :rotfl:

I know mate it's a tricky one to get around it wouldn't matter so much if I hadn't polished the engine, I'm wondering if I can get away without cutting the Bonnet as it's just 6 bolts but I'm not sure how much drag it will create at high speeds and try to rip the whole bonnet off!
You had best send the Boys round to slap me lol


Err.....I'm gonna reserve judgement until I see it painted and fitted, but I kinda concur with MRP's comments about your shiny engine components not staying shiny.

That's my only concern Craig but no doubt I will think of something to protect all those nice shiny bits :)

Very true Colin it will not be the end of the world but I'm hoping I won't need too! :)

i think you're going over the top now mate, and its going to look chavvy :-) why dont you sort the interior or do some engine mods?

[Biff]

Izuzu trooper or vauxhall Monterey Ian?
I had one on my first car back in 1998.
Sorry mate but I'm not feeling it, but its not my car. As said if your not happy you can change your bonnet so its not un-reversible.
It won't help your bling in the winter months at all though fella, its best to keep the elements well away from the polish. It's gonna be a winter of cold hands & autosol.

[t5 pete]

Erm ill just leave it at that lol whats it off tho to wait 4 yrs for it

[T5RatherAmusin]

Its s trooper vent.
He looks so happy with it. Bless him :)

[V70 Graham]

Not sure about this one Ian, if you are going to have to cut the bonnet, think about it.....then think about it a whole lot more before you do anything, mind if you really don't like it it's only a new bonnet you'd need.

[jamesy12345]

what is the purpose of the vent Ian, for engine cooling or just for the look of the thing? As above probably pointing backwards would let the warm air out, which would be more useful I think

It's your car, give it a whirl if you like it. I wouldn't fit one on mine but Volvo do a snow cover for the 480 that I don't mind the look of.....

22631

[stribo]

Not keen I'm afraid Ian, and as has been said above if you are going to fit it turn it around to let hot air out, as that part of the engine doesn't need cool air.

[iancho]

i think you're going over the top now mate, and its going to look chavvy :-) why dont you sort the interior or do some engine mods?

I know mate but I don't feel like I can do much more to the engine as it's an auto and I don't want to mess the auto box up

Cheers mate, I've decided not to cut the Bonnet I will just use the 2 washer holes and drill a couple more and Bolt it down. If I get the time it will be ready by Friday! (Fingers Crossed)


what is the purpose of the vent Ian, for engine cooling or just for the look of the thing? As above probably pointing backwards would let the warm air out, which would be more useful I think

It's your car, give it a whirl if you like it. I wouldn't fit one on mine but Volvo do a snow cover for the 480 that I don't mind the look of.....

22631

It's just for cosmetics mate and I've always wanted it


Not keen I'm afraid Ian, and as has been said above if you are going to fit it turn it around to let hot air out, as that part of the engine doesn't need cool air.

I know your not mate but it's just a bit of fun and I've waited so long.... I'm really excited!

Hopefully the 18"s will be ready this week ready for the Evo Triangle.... Reese would not do what I wanted so I went with Frankies idea of Gloss Black with Gold Fleck :)

Thanks for all your input lads I do enjoy reading everyone's comments they make this thread far more interesting! :)

you never did say what your plan for the wheels where??

Hopefully they will mate :)

As for the original idea... They were going to be Black but with the inner edges on the Spokes Gold and the Spoke with the 'R' on was going to be Completely Gold if you can picture that?

I've weighed the Air Scoop up and I will be using the two original washer holes and just drill another two lower down, then Bolt and Glue it on.
I've decided not to Cut the Bonnet under the Scoop I will just Paint that area Black, otherwise it will ruin my Shiny engine.

I will move the Washer's about 3 inches across each side of the Scoop.

The Scoop will not be 'In your face' just a subtle mod to give it a more aggressive look from the front :)

Looking forward to seeing the results this weekend mate, I'm leaning to the 'it will work and look ok' side of my fence at the present time, proof will be in how good the fit and finish is.

You know me mate... Now would I ever do a Stupid Mod???!!! :hilarious

Seriously though you will like it Ade as I really wouldn't want to mess my car up after years of getting it perfect. I've been Planning this one for a long time and I know it will work and look good, it's what I've always wanted to finish off the front end look.

Will be great if I can get it finished by Sunday so you can see it in the 'Flesh' It's going to be a super day matey :wink:

[Jim S70R]

Blimey you've made some massive progress with this, she is certainly looking lovely.......cracking motor you've got, well done.

[partsforvolvos.com]

i have spent all weekend thinking about this vent , and still my only reaction is :slap:
dont do it .

the car is immaculate , it does not need one.
if you really want vents, how about getting proper pressed in ones. there used to be companies who could do your own bonner, without painting by stamping it in once warmed.
a bit like they do wheel arch rolling. the r5 guys used to get this done regularly.

[AndysR]

No, please don't! You'll ruin it :(

[Kingsford G]

I`d get a diff bonnet and try it 1st before ruining the original one.It may look nice at some point but unless its a track car don`t line up with a scooby chavs mate.

[munster732]

Each to their own mate, but for the love of god NOOOOOOOOOOOO :redface:
Its a beaut, keep it that way

[claymore]

If you'r going to do it Ian, make it functional, you could duct the air to the air filter.

[V70 Graham]

Me thinks this is going to be a 'Marmite' mod.....love it or hate it !

Well lads I'm just uploading photo's of today....

The wheels look great in Gloss Black with Gold fleck, they change colour depending on the light. Many thanks for the idea Frank :)

The Air Scoop looks Ace! Thanks T5Ratheramusin for helping me find what I've always wanted! :)

The car looks Mental now and I'm really pleased!!!!

Comments welcome and wanted when pic's have loaded.... I'm VERY happy with the end result!

Very nice Ian....the wheels look fantastic in the distant pics.

Perhaps the close up pics with the flash brings out too much colour - looking a bit 'in your face'.

Some very nice touches there mate....a gorgeous V70R :B_thumb:

[T5frankie]

those wheels look the biz-niz mate unlike the big snoz the car now has lol

I've got a surprise for you on Sunday Steve, so make sure you turn up! lol

[partsforvolvos.com]

those wheels look soooooo nice !!!!!
10/10 . they even take my attention off of the bonnet vent.

and for god's sake put the number plate back in the proper place :B_thumb:

i couldnt compete with yours now mate, i'm still deciding what i should buy, 400bhp jag sounds so appealing

[T5frankie]

you gonna sell the 19's back to me then? lol

[Tomcat]

Must admit Ian that it doesnt look as bad as I thought it was going to, not as in your face as I thought it would be. I think the wheels you'd just need to see them in person, they look a little orange in the photo's but being as the cars er...orange then it's a good match. I hadn't noticed the reg plate, pleeeeaaase put it back,lol.

Oh Ian what steering wheel do you have?.. It's not the proper R wheel is it?.. the leather looks a bit too new to be one of those.

[iancho]

you gonna sell the 19's back to me then? lol

Stop making me feel Guilty! lol

I've been looking at 20" but can't find anything I like yet :)

The steeringwheel is a cover from Halfords £1 in a sale a couple of years ago... I couldn't believe my luck it's the exact same colour as the interior!

I'm deffo going...lol

[t5 pete]

Looks smart ian im only on my phone so carnt see the pics very good but I do like the wheels they really stand out and supriseing the scoop doesnt look bad at all

[oblark]

The bonnet scoop doesn't look out of place, it looks like it was factory fitted :)

The car looks awesome :)

[claymore]

I knew that scoop would look ok, now we just need to make it functional and make a duct to the top of the air filter ;)

[Jamest5r]

Actually looks pretty good matey :)

[T5RatherAmusin]

nice update ian! looking shweet!
just noticed your plate says big boob :rotfl:

[munster732]

It wouldn't be something I'd do, but it aint half as bad as I thought it would look.
I stand corrected mate, im loving checking out the Saffy...gives me ideas but I don't want to copy anyone lol

[Nealevo]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[V70 Graham]

I'm with the majority on these mods mate, the scoop doesn't actually look that bad, the wheels I'll have to see 'in the flesh' and as for that number plate.....turn up at mine with it there and I'll move it myself lol

[T5frankie]

It wouldn't be something I'd do, but it aint half as bad as I thought it would look.
I stand corrected mate, im loving checking out the Saffy...gives me ideas but I don't want to copy anyone lol

why? ian blatently did lol

[AndysR]

Wow some new changes, the wheels look ok. Surprised you changed the colour as you were quite against the darker colours when you had them done originally?

As for the scoop I'm sorry but for me you've ruined the car from the front, be interesting to see it again with the number plate in the correct place as that may make the front end of the car look quite a bit different, that said to me it's lost the classy well kept look it had previously now it looks a little cheap.. Sorry it's probably harsh but it's what I think. but at the end of the day it doesn't matter what I think as it's your car and your clearly very happy with it and for that I'm glad it's worked out well for you :)

[merc85]

hummmmm, errrr hell doesnt matter what i think. its still a very clean car and if you ever did want to sell it im sure the mods could easily be changed back. (just dont cut the bonnet) pleeeeeeease. :/

[stribo]

Looks good mate, bonnet scoop doesn't look as bad as I thought it would even if it is pointless. ;)

[Orca2]

Front end looks the dogs ££££££££, not sure about the plate position but scoop and splitters look great, has a very mean look.wheels and brakes v nice too.

[iancho]

I'm surprised!..... Many thanks for the positive comments lads :)

You know when you have wanted something for soooooo long that you cannot see the wood for the trees.... Well that's me and the Scoop. Have I spoilt the car? Probably the answer is Yes but it makes me happy.... I can always buy another bonnet as a spare....

I would like to believe that all your comments are honest as I would be in no way offended if you didn't like it. You cannot offend me as we are all friends on here and go to meets together..... I think no less of anyone :)

The wheels?.... Well as the light started to fade they started turning Black and now under the Street light they are Jet Black. Just something different to try and see if it works....

This car was never going to be a 'Normal' project so after getting the car in Perfect Showroom Condition I now seem to be destroying it in front of everybody's eyes...... that was always going to be the case I've just done it in reverse order.... Sorry!

[iancho]

lol my missus wants me to get another v70r too

We both can't be wrong!

Cheers Jim, it's not so bad mate.


nice update ian! looking shweet!

It wouldn't be something I'd do, but it aint half as bad as I thought it would look.

Don't be sorry Andy you have probably summed up what everybody is secretly thinking matey.... and you could never offend me mate!
The wheels? Well I thought you cannot all be wrong by telling me to go Darker.... You were all correct, they DO look better Darker!


hummmmm, errrr hell doesnt matter what i think. its still a very clean car and if you ever did want to sell it im sure the mods could easily be changed back. (just dont cut the bonnet) pleeeeeeease. :/

Cheers Gav, I know mate lol.... The Bonnet is already ruined so it means getting another anyway. I was going to have this one re-sprayed... I could get the spare done instead.


Looks good mate, bonnet scoop doesn't look as bad as I thought it would even if it is pointless. ;)

lol cheers Steve it's not the end of the world


Front end looks the dogs ££££££££, not sure about the plate position but scoop and splitters look great, has a very mean look.wheels and brakes v nice too.

Cheers mate, she does look kinda nasty now.... Does the number plate really look that bad lads??!!!

[MoleT-5R]

Liking what I see, but reserving full judgement until Sunday, when I see it in the flesh. Quite surprised that Ian has unveiled his new mods before sundays run, guess he wanted to gauge the feeling about his marmite mods before meeting everone and I can't blame him ...lol

[iancho]

Cheers mate, I wanted it done before the Triangle so you could all see it in the 'Flesh' so to speak and get a real idea of what it looks like as Photo's never look so good as the real thing :)

Check your phone Ade I sent you a txt last night to see if I've got the correct number :)

[Jim S70R]

Looking good as always, it's not my cup of tea if I'm honest but never the less it's still overall a wicked looking car!!

[jamesy12345]

The finish is really good on your car Ian, if you like the mod that's all that matters! Not my cup of tea but it does make it look more agressive from the front.

[Orca2]

If you got the number plate done as one of those stick on racing type ones and stuck it where it is it might look better, it just looks a bit like its just sitting there .imho it slightly spoils the sleek look of the front end which I think looks very aggressive, the flat plate doesn't blend with the otherwise good aerodynamic look you have achieved at the front.
Good on you mate for having the nuts to go ahead and realise your vision of how you wanted it to look.I love it .

[MoleT-5R]

Well as I said this is a car that needs to be seen in the flesh, as the new scoop works very nicely, as everyone on the evo/great orme run have said, with alot positive comments, probably one of the best V70R awd's in the country (until next year...lol) Thanks to Ian for making the long trip up to wales for us to see his all great work in action and it certainly does look good on the move as well as stationary. The Marmite wheels in my mind add a lovely contrast to the black and gold theme.

What a plonker, had not realised that I'd clicked the wrong thumbnail, nice shot of Mark's car, may be I should say that I put it in just to show the difference between Ian's and Mark's

[stephenevans99]

I knew what you did ;)

[iancho]

Adrian, Steve... You cannot guess how surprised and flattered I was to come onto VPC today and find that you have both posted pic's on my thread!

I'm touched... Honestly!

Thankyou both and to everyone else who has said good or bad things.... It means a lot to me, I realise it is not everyone's cup of tea :)

As for the Evo Triangle..... Well if I'm prepared to drive a total of 8hrs plus a 500 mile round trip 2yrs in a row need I say more?

Everyone's behaviour was impeccable, no laws or speed limits were broken.... Just your Typical Sunday VPCUK Drivers! :)

A BIG thankyou to Adrian and Janeybabe for going to so much trouble and making it another year to remember... and to everyone who turned up... without you guys there would be no nice memories and it would be no fun at all! :B_thumb:
