I'm going to take a few days off work soon to get the mould finished so we should be looking at starting to make these in the next week or so....

Hi.

I´m rather new to this forum, ok I´m as green as they come...

I have a question about the S/V70 R spoiler.
Will it be a spoiler that you can bolt right on to your car?
Or will it need further mods to be able to fit the front (of course it will need some paint and maby some sanding before that.)
How much will it cost? in what material will it be? Glasfiber or any other material?
I know, many questions but I´m really curious. It´s because I´m interested in buying one of you, depending the cost of it.
Btw, I´m driving an 850 rebuilt front end to the S/V70. Not an S60.

Hi, sorry for the (Very) delayed reply, the V/S 70R bumpers will be just that, a full direct replacement for the standard item(including the mounting brackets). The price is £150 and they're made out of Fibreglass, if you are interested I would have to get you a quote on shipping first as it may cost a fortune to get it to you if its going all the way out to Sweeden. I already make the T5R bumpers for the 850 and I'm sure several members can subsantiate the quality of these items.

I work full time so these are just made in my spare time for us dedicated nutters who can't afford the genuine stuff.

I currently have a waiting list of around two months.

Hi Tomcat.

I´ll buy one of you!

Btw, is it possible to "custom order" What I want is for the lower part to be lower...
With bigger holes for the vent. My intercooler is almost to bigg for my car. And I´m afraid it might be lower than the front... (Not looking good)

Thats why I want a S/V70R front but if it is possible a lower/deeper front...
Something like this, but not with te big "lip" in the side, just the normal one.
But this pic shows just about how low I want it.

Looking forward to your reply

Wow - that is low.

Peter

I hope you will be able to post some pics during and after the rebuild?

**Tomcat** · Friday 18th March 2005, 20:11

Making a modified bumper for you wouldn't be a problem but I would need to know exactly how deep to make the lower section. Also I'm going to have to have an address so I can get an idea on shipping, however I recently got a quote on shipping one to the states for £290!.

I may have to try some other company's to get a better deal. Anybody have any suggestions?

I don't know if your interested but I'm just starting to make a version of the Evolve bumpers for the early V/S 70's.

**S60T5** · Friday 18th March 2005, 21:52

Hi there again.

I´ll find out exactly how low I want it to be.
About the Evolve copy on the early S/V70 might be interesting.
But I would like some pictures on that before I make my mind up on that.
As long as it won´t look like this

PICTURE, CLICK ME

I think it looks like, well crap is a nice word...

Now about the shipping price... It´s cheaper if I come to you by flight, and take the ferry back to sweden, than the shipping cost to USA.

But it´s not impossible that I can come over to you and get that front end, and maby one of the evolve type as well...

Of course I will show you some pictures of my car.
6 days ago my computer crashed but I was able to save a couple of pictures.
Where can I upload them?

Mvh / Peter Larsson

**Tomcat** · Friday 18th March 2005, 23:51

If you want to upload them either email them to Justin and he will put them into the vBGarage for you, or you can email them to me.

As for the Evolve, it will DEFINATELY not look like that one, that's hideous. I am currently working on a mockup of the bumper so once its finished I will post some pics on the forum.

THANK YOU, I had a nightmare about that front... In my dream I was building some car stereo in the trunk...
Then I walked to the front of the car to connect the battery...
OMFG !!!! There was that awful front on MY car...

Well well, it was just a nightmare...
I´ll mail you some pictures this evening.
Well, then the evolve front might be really interesting...
I´ll buy one R-front and one Evolve front then.
I think it will be better if I come over to you and pick them up...

Good luck on the Evolve front, they are very nasty, but extremely good looking...
