    S60 front lips

    I'm considering making an S60 Front lip but I need a few answers fist. Are the ph 1 and 2 S60's the same shape bumper underneath?.. (ie.. if I make on for a ph1 will it fit a ph2) and what's the chances of them also fitting the V70's?.. Also, is there any interest in me making these before I start?.. If there is then what do you want them to look like?..

    The early V70's bumper slopes inward making it very difficult to make a splitter for it. I fitted my splitter to the seam between the painted and black bit. It may be easier to make one that screws to the front of the bumper, rather than to the underside. And the profile is different for the facelift.

    Not sure how easy it'd be to make that for ph1 cars, however...

    Yeah that is specifically to fit the R bumper (which is the same for facelift and pre).

    The sport front lip to fit the facelift P2's are quite nice.

    So what's the verdict? Do I make them just for R's or for standard only cars?

    Well, as you've had interest from 2 R owners already, I'd say the R, plus it'll fit all P2Rs.

    Ok, my only problem with this is I'd need to get hold of an R front bumper to get the shape right. The only S60 front I have at the minute is a standard one. If I have to buy one it's going to cost around £2-300, I dont object to this as I have to speculate to accumulate as the saying goes. But I would need to be sure there where orders there for when I'd finished it.
