S60R Bumper to standard S60

**stephenevans99** · Monday 16th June 2014, 16:26

Just finished fitting the S60R bumper to the D5 and I'm pleased to say it went on without any issues whatsoever.

To ensure a direct fit you MUST have the corner hangers and plastic support bar.....otherwise it will not fit.

Here's the results.....shame I had to put the number plate on lol

Really pleased with how it looks....big thanks to Stribo for the inspiration

lol

Looks good mate, but the car needs to be hit with the stick now.

**V70 Graham** · Monday 16th June 2014, 16:35

Yup, that looks very nice, well worth doing.

**Harvey** · Monday 16th June 2014, 16:39

Nice job,looks spot on.
So is a bigger intercooler next on the list ?.

**stephenevans99** · Monday 16th June 2014, 16:46

The bumper is screaming out for a FMIC but I keep promising myself a set of IPD arbs....it's just the ££ or the lack of it lol

**volvokid** · Monday 16th June 2014, 16:50

Yeah that looks spot on. So what does sit were the intercooler goes on the R. Have you put mesh or something in its place

**stephenevans99** · Monday 16th June 2014, 16:55

Nothing sits in there currently apart from the ac condensor. I was thinking about fitting a decent quality grille IF it looked too open but it actually looks perfect as it is. Obviously a nice big shiny FMIC would look even better though.

looks very good

**volvokid** · Monday 16th June 2014, 17:02

Cool, I know rich has mesh of sorts fitted to his and it looks pretty good.

**stribo** · Monday 16th June 2014, 17:31

Looks good mate, you just need the 2.5 HPT petrol engine, AWD sytem, Brembos, 4C suspension, and blue dials to go with it.

**M-R-P** · Monday 16th June 2014, 17:39

Cracking job there Steve. Like it

Na the D5 is a good engine, fair play to him.

looking good stevey!
fwiw- i have mine fitted with neither r hangers or support bar lol

and yes fmic ftw! mesh will look tacky, if you do decide on going grill try some plastic honeycomb or the like...

**Saaamon** · Monday 16th June 2014, 19:52

Looks good, would like to see pictures showing more of the car with the newly fitted bumper.

Still sounds like a tractor though.

**volvokid** · Monday 16th June 2014, 21:57

No nothing like one, a V40 diesel does, I've had 2 people in my car now that have said it's got a nice note to it.

**volvokid** · Monday 16th June 2014, 21:58

Actually come to think of it some tractors nowadays sound better than our R's so I will take that as a compliment.
