If you can match the bumpers up with something then yes.

If not, I'll give you 20 quid and a bag of quavers for 'em :)

[LeeT5]

I prefer Skirt. Gives me something to look forwards too without baring all!! :redface:

.......Sorry, are we talking about the same thing here??

Anyway, what ever that black thing that you've stuck on the side of your car...get it off!! You'll have clearance issues on speed bumps and unless you fit skirts to the front and rear bumpers, it will just look odd.

i wouldnt fit them with bumper skirts front and rear. the front already has a facelift skirt on it, but as most know im very fussy about what i do to the car.

[V70 Graham]

If you don't like the quality I'd not bother.

But you're a picky fekker...

[jamesy12345]

Needs the bumpers to match, at least the front one. Not bad tho

[WOODY T5]

Joking aside think it looks very nice without them ;)

You'd get a better idea if he hadn't parked in a bloody field!

poor fella has to live in a caravan so he can afford to maintain is s60r

i loved that image for agess but now im not sure.

[M-R-P]

I have to drive a bloody starlet so I can afford to fix the T5 lmao

[expolicev70t5]

my opinion is as Jamesy said if having skirts they need to line through with bumper skirts like that S60R otherwise they look a bit odd.
I have to say the S60R looks very tasty

Fix it??
Have you broken it already since getting map :dgrin:

207K miles mate... best to be prepared :)

Rear brakes are due and I'll need 2 new tyres soon.

[stribo]

Get them fitted, the more weight you add to your car, the further you'll be behind me on the strip. Have you considered a bonnet scoop? ;)

the only time ill be behind you is in the que

[stribo]

Haha, we'll see.

[jdavis]

Not a lover of them to be honest, looks loads better without them in my opinion.

[rikcougar]

Cack

You don`t need another edge down there

[Kingsford G]

They look nice mate

[kyekye09]

sorry Graeme..... im not a fan but its your car after all :)

[merc85]

spoils a mint car :(

[alcashj94]

I think they are too much without the front and back pieces as on the light blue car, I would leave them off.

Like your front lip, didn't realise that was a straight swap onto the pre facelift - shall have to look out for one to go on mine.

[T5RatherAmusin]

You didnt listen to me once you messaged me bout the body kit, did ya lol.... the only thing I said was to you dont bother with the sides lol esp when u dont plan to fit the rest...if u actually want to fit them you need the rear and front R splitters which is the best parts of the kit. And fit the other sideskirts I told you bout.

who hasnt been listening or not reading everything. plan was to buy it in stages and front lip and rear lips for my bumpers. i refuse to fit R parts on a t5. if i wanted to be like a R i would of just bought one. ive posted a image of the rear bumper i intended to purchase. i wouldnt fit skirts without bumpers. i thought you knew me better than that. im not going to fit any of the kit unless i came across a geniuine volvo one. the quality of the kit isnt good and not something im willing to put on my car. id made up my mind befor id offered it up to the car but thought id get some other opinions. for me theres a fine line between ruining a car and making subtle changes. ive put alot of hard work into keeping my car in the condition its in so im not going to spoil that.

[T5RatherAmusin]

Well I did warn u bout the sideskirts lol
Thats rear skirt looks naff imo too
I thort I new u better to lol I see u more as a tight, keep it std kinda guy ;)

[Jim S70R]

I'm saying yes but think your going to need to then do front and rear bumper skirts too.....

[partsforvolvos.com]

without, but you need to lower it more to compensate.
huge gap at the rear in your photo, or is that just how it is sitting?

nowt to do with being tight but what i am is very picky. almost perfect isnt good enough for me as itll just keep me awake at night. so tight no sensible yes.

[graemewelch]

its lowered on eibach but the rear has always slightly higher. ive been fancying some coilover but i hate having a harsh ride so i dont want to kill it. but the main reason for them is i want to start attending track days. no good having a quickish carif dont use it to its full pontental

[iancho]

Find something of better quality Graeme :)
