    Not too worried as long as it fits ok, silly cheap so if it's bad not such a problem, the company just list them as fitting with a little modification

    It's not wide enough to fit on a Volvo bumper it needs extra 50mm added to it to make it look right .

    http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthr...the-VR%85Kinda

    The silver car has the mod one fitted, but the blue car is as it comes .

    This is also getting fitted in USA if you have a look . Not the best fits but at the price , it ok .

    Thanks I'll have a look through when I get round to to fitting, it's being a temporary storage shed currently until I get a chance to clear it out.

    Dropped the wheels off today for, dip blast and powder coat.

    I went for black with, silver flake in high gloss, I looked at the other colours but none really took my fancy.

    Next week should see the klracing intercooler fitted and the black headlamps, replaced broken fog, refurbed wheels, headlamp wiper motor that's frozen and new rear wiper arm.

    Then I can start cleaning it up as its no longer used.

    Still have to poly rear toe arm and front wishbones (although I may just buy new Volvo arms)

    Gtx wheel in rebuilt turbo, and unrestricted map

    Fitting the new intercooler, black xenons, refurbed wheels, new fog, and subwoofer I'll also have a go at the bumper whilst it's off and making a lower grill.

    Intercoolers in and working perfectly, black xenons look awesome and tie the front end together.

    Fitting the new old stock boot subwoofer next and I was very fortunate to find a new old stock Volvo boot fridge as well, should be nice for cold drink in Brighton.

    Oddly it can keep things hot as well.

    Lol I hadn't really thought about it that way, yes coming along now it's not school run car, have a few paint issues to sort and it just odd mechanical things.

    You should come along to beauleiu, it's going to be big-ish

    I like the black surround in the Xenons, was it hard to do?

    I've thought about doing mine.

    Incredibly rare std s60 / v70 xenon upgrade option 2000-2004, not many people took it on when buying.

    Hoping to fit my splitter soon as it's also black, I'll leave the grill as is and get the paint blemishes done soon as well, but the driveway as it already scrapes the std bumper, hence parked in bay opposite the house so need the drive sorted before fitting splitter

    Removed all the engine covers, fuse box, air filter, ecu etc as I'm sending off this week for blue carbon hydro dipping, degreased the engine bay and cleaned up a bit whilst I was about it.

    Collected most of the manual conversion parts now!

    Found a place that does the software for conversion for £90-100

    So will have the sonic manual soon possibly

    Well looks as if the sonic is sold, a chap who's had a car from me before is seriously considering it.
