Replica bumpers etc....

how about delivery bud?

[Tomcat]

From what I remember(it's been a while) delivery was £40. Sounds like a lot but its 30 delivery and 10 for packaging(its a BIG box) and belive me thats the cheapest I could get it. Don't know what it would be for the eyebrows but it cant be that much. Either that or wait until the next meet and I'll bring them with me.

tomcat do any of these (R or evolve fit the p2 v70?)

Hi tomcat, many thanks for offering to make a new one up at such an excellent price, but I've lined up another source. I'm sure you won't have any bother shifting what you make

[Tomcat]

Quick update, I just found out recently that the courier I was using only deals with account customers now, this excludes me as I don't send enough stuff out. Any body know of a parcel firm that I can use?, preferably one that'll take big bumper sized boxes, and also collect(if poss).

I'm doing a one off at the moment for a guy in Sweeden who wants a V70R bumper, with an additional three inches in it( makes it lower, with bigger vents), and also some NACA intakes on the side( for brakes I presume). Would anybody else be interested?, I will post a picture once done, I could do these as one off's as I just modify an existing R bumper

[BlackBeast]

I will post a picture once done

Please do TC.

[Tomcat]

This is what they'll look like, its not one of mine, in fact I'm not sure who's it is, and the one I'm making will have the NACA vents as well



Doesn't look it but the intakes are quite a bit bigger due to extending the bumper.

[BlackBeast]

Once you've finished it i think you need someone with a normal r bumper on their x70 and swap them over to do a little photo shoot to get a comparison of just how low it is.

That car in the pic isnt really a normal looking one is it lol. Id be scared that with the drop im planning (eibach springs), I would ground the bumper all the time hence the need for a better comparison.

Will have T5R front for my 855 for defo!

Happy to do deposit thing and all.

(salvo want £225 for a second hand unpainted one)

Me, if the price is similar. That looks good. I can collect and I can volunteer for the before and after pic

Mr Tomcat, sounds just great...
I´m looking forward to visit you, and see the bumper when finished.

The car that is shown in the picture is a Volvo 850 Turbo -95 I think, it belongs to two brothers whom lives here in Sweden. They have now changed the front bumper and added some 20" chrome wheels and air-suspension, or hydraulics... Not sure, but now that car is just to low. At least for my taste.

Maby we can have a little get together at Tomcat, when I´m coming over?
A BBQ or something? Would be really nice to meet some of you guys and girls IRL, when I´m over there...

Best regards

Let us know when you are over and I am sure we can get a few of us together (I will definately be there )

I will be in Vaxholm in early August if you want a mini meet

[S60T5]

I will be in Vaxholm in early August if you want a mini meet

Cool, it´s about there my car will be finished.
I´m not sure about my vacation in august, but if I do have a possibility I´ll gladely be there. Then we can have a mini-meet of our own

If any of you guys choose to come over to Sweden this summer, please visit Eskilstuna (The place where I live) We have a really nice zoo, where each weekend we have some "famous" bands that will play.
We also have some rather interesting streetracing going on in Eskilstuna. Not the kind of streetracing you see from the states, it´s perfectly safe and almost allways a blast to see.

If any of you guys/girls want to get any pointers of where to go and where not to go, just send me a PM.

I´ll let you all know when I´m going over to tomcat. I´ll open a thread in the off topic or something.

Back to the thread...
I personaly think that you should go for the Evolvo S/V/C70 and the R-bumper for the 850/855.
There I think you would find the most buyers (Well maby the R-bumper for S/V/C70 as well)

Best regards//

Count me in for some eyebrows in black please.....

[mike 850]

do you reckon you will do a t5r 850 bumper, if so i want one

[Tomcat]

Yup judging by the amount of interest again I'll be starting doing these again very soon, I just have to finish Peters bumper first. All the other items mentioned(bar the Evolve and the V70R) are only ideas at the moment and are dependent on the amount of interest.

[Tomcat]

Having given some thought to it, being as Evolve have started to cater for the early V70's as well I'm not so sure it would be safe (or legal) to start selling replicas. I originaly agreed to do this because Evolve didn't make anything for the early versions of the V70, as such there wasn't a problem with doing them.

Sorry guys but I don't want to go getting myself dragged into court over this. Some of us have already spent money developing this(I've also lost all the time I put into it) and its a shame, but ultimately not worth the risk in my opinion

[Al115]

Agh.

[Tomcat]

Soz mate, if your still interested in an R bumper then I will give you some discount on it, I would have loved to do the Evolve ones but being as I've recently seen pics of the ones they do, I honestly don't think its worth the risk. Do you??
