    I'm really liking this one with the black wheels. I have a spare set of Comets, which I'm going to attempt to refurb myself in black, before putting them on my black C70. I already have the crystals on mine, but need to lower the back to how she was before the coilover jiggered.

    P1 C70 is one of the best looking volvo's out there imo. Looks too slick and the r bumper is a big no no.

    Sorry but the R bumper looks wrong on a C70 in the same way that the C70 bumper would look wrong on a V70. I'd rather see a half decent splitter on the standard C70 bumper personally...

    IMO the R bumper looks to heavy, and it's completely the wrong shape to match the rest of the car. Anyway you don't even like C70s, what do you care.

    Frankie the reason you think it looks better is because it looks less like a C70 and more like V70
