940 styling

[monkeydrifter]

hey guys i'm new on here and i am desperate for advice, i will be getting a 940 2.0 turb on sunday and well i want some smoked rear lights for it, any ideas for places. thanks Andy

As far as I know, and I have looked, there isn't any company that does smoked rear lights. If you wanted this, you would need to tint them yourself using a tinting spray.

You might be better getting a set of S/V90 rear lights (if it is a saloon or estate), these lights have the clear indicators. I had a set on my black 940 and they totally changed the back end of the car.

yeah its a saloon so do the s90 lights go straight in. i like the sound of that the yellow bit ooks gash.
Alsa while i' m on what company do you use for styling bits etc??

The S90 lights are just a straight swap over. To be honest, there aren't many styling bits for the 940, not in the UK anyway. The Yanks and Swedes love to mod them, but the cost to ship any parts would be astronomical.

Before I bought my 850 Turbo, I was just going to sort out the suspension (lower it), tint the windows, get an egg-crate grille, Jetex exhaust, cone air filter (Apexi is a good one to go for), S70 rear spoiler and bigger alloys.

Get some pics of your car up mate!!!!

My car was pretty standard at the time I bought the 850, so I didn't get a chance to do anything major to it. You can get the grilles over here, but there are becoming quite rare, and when the do come around (eBay), they go for quite a bit. You are looking for the 940 Turbo grille, or 940 Highlander, both of these had the black egg-crate style grille. There is an even more expensive option, which is the grille from the 1997/98 940 Celebration, this was a black egg-crate with a chrome surround.

It's a shame you didn't buy the car earlier this year, because that is when I sold my grille, lights, springs, etc.

Ah, you mean front ones like the ones below. Get some blue LED dash lights & chrome dial rings:

i will dude but got no camera at the minute, where did you get the chrom surrounds from and the other stuff?? wanna slam it then get some big rims. what do you reckon to the standard grill in matt black??

There's a sweedish car show every year called Vallakra, there's usually loads of moded 940/60 there.

I'm sure I have seen a 940 with the 240 wheels on it. The centres were painted matt black and it looked superb. If it were me, I would look for a set of the alloys that I have, the 16" Aurigas, or if you can find some, a set of 17" Polaris. You would be looking at around £200+ at for these sets of wheels.

Polaris


As for off the shelf stuff, there isn't that much available for the 940 on this side of the pond. Your best bet is to go for the best manufacturers with a Universal fitment (for example, the Apexi cone filter http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Apexi-Powe...2em118Q2el1247)

[monkeydrifter]

them wheels look lush. yeah i was thinking of doing the 240 wheels matt in the middle with a nice poished rim think they'd look nice wih it lowered, gonna chop the springs i think if i cant find any
