    V70R Auto

    General info please. Running a V70R classic shape. Thought it may be nice to mod it slightly. Have been advised no point in putting dump valves, etc on an Auto so thought I would go for body mods. Can anyone advise source for twin exhaust system and also matching rear bumper with cut-outs for same.
    Currently about to order grille and front air dam parts from Heico Sportiv.
    Any advice / comments appreciated.
    Cheers
    Bob

    Hi mate

    I aint going to start on the DV thing again but you can have 1 if you want as long as the car aint ME7, do a search on here to see other peoples thoughts, Some for some against...

    Any place that does custom exhausts should be able to make you one and if yoiu can source a AWD bumper it should have the exit on the right and the blanking plate to remove on the left, Other than that just cut the original bumper like I did

    Get some pics up of before n after

    Hi Guys. Thanks for the advice. I managed to find an AWD rear bumper in the same colour as mine for £100 which I thought was OK. Contemplating now whether to go for twin standard exhausts, two big 'uns or twins either side...decisions, decisions!!!
    I will up load a couple of photos asap...family probs at the moment tend to delay most activities.
    Cheers

    Hi Mac.
    That would be most useful, thanks
    I managed to pick up a second hand twin exit bumper from a scrappy up north off a V70R AWD for £100 delivered, so that's a start.
    Should have my camera back soon so will take piccies as I go although may not start for a while yet due top other things going on.
    Cheers

    How wide is the pipe hole on the AWD? I have 2 pipes each side and would like something a little better than the cut holes I currently sport.

    Fraz, who did yours. Let me know costs and stuff. Posty still not come, but neither has my guage
