I'm considering making an S60 Front lip but I need a few answers fist. Are the ph 1 and 2 S60's the same shape bumper underneath?.. (ie.. if I make on for a ph1 will it fit a ph2) and what's the chances of them also fitting the V70's?.. Also, is there any interest in me making these before I start?.. If there is then what do you want them to look like?..

I might be tempted if you could make on like Chris's??

Chris's??

The same as Stephen Evans, I'd be interested in one of them too.

The early V70's bumper slopes inward making it very difficult to make a splitter for it. I fitted my splitter to the seam between the painted and black bit. It may be easier to make one that screws to the front of the bumper, rather than to the underside. And the profile is different for the facelift.

That's it Chris S70T5 S60R front lip jobby.

Not sure how easy it'd be to make that for ph1 cars, however...

Yeah that is specifically to fit the R bumper (which is the same for facelift and pre).

The sport front lip to fit the facelift P2's are quite nice.

So what's the verdict? Do I make them just for R's or for standard only cars?

Well, as you've had interest from 2 R owners already, I'd say the R, plus it'll fit all P2Rs.

I'd be interested in 1 or 2 p2r spoilers

Might be 3 as a friend may want one, plus another non r

Would be interested in this for an 2003 R too if it came about, very nice

Ok, my only problem with this is I'd need to get hold of an R front bumper to get the shape right. The only S60 front I have at the minute is a standard one. If I have to buy one it's going to cost around £2-300, I dont object to this as I have to speculate to accumulate as the saying goes. But I would need to be sure there where orders there for when I'd finished it.

Surely that would be just the job, it's retained its shape, just looks crap.

I'll keep you all appraised of the situation.

Ok, bumper arrived today (pretty quick service), wasn't overly impressed with the packaging though as they just wrapped it in a sheet of plastic and shoved a label on it.. Still the finish on it doesnt matter so long as its the right shape. After having a look at Mr Evans carbon splitter with the little winglets how do you lot want the new one to look?.. Do you prefer winglets or without?.. I'll be honest that the winglets will be a pain in the ass to produce but I'm willing to have a bash if that's what's wanted, other wise it will be a flat design similar to my others but obviously shaped to fit the design of the S60R/V70R.

I'm also going to make some headlight wiper blanks if anyone wants any?..

Need pics to muse about it. I like Chris's.

Ok, can't really produce any pics until I start manufacturing the prototype. Have a look at Chris's and look at the one on my car, then it'll be somewhere between the two.

The flat type.

I think photos of what type people would like will help things along..

I'd prefer one with winglets, but if it's going to be too hard to produce, then I'll go with the flat one.

Thanks Harvey, that would have helped I suppose wouldnt it?..
