Replica bumpers etc....

[Baj]

I'm doing a one off at the moment for a guy in Sweeden who wants a V70R bumper, with an additional three inches in it( makes it lower, with bigger vents), and also some NACA intakes on the side( for brakes I presume). Would anybody else be interested?, I will post a picture once done, I could do these as one off's as I just modify an existing R bumper

Me, if the price is similar. That looks good. I can collect and I can volunteer for the before and after pic

Mr Tomcat, sounds just great...
I´m looking forward to visit you, and see the bumper when finished.

The car that is shown in the picture is a Volvo 850 Turbo -95 I think, it belongs to two brothers whom lives here in Sweden. They have now changed the front bumper and added some 20" chrome wheels and air-suspension, or hydraulics... Not sure, but now that car is just to low. At least for my taste.

Maby we can have a little get together at Tomcat, when I´m coming over?
A BBQ or something? Would be really nice to meet some of you guys and girls IRL, when I´m over there...

Best regards

Cool, it´s about there my car will be finished.
I´m not sure about my vacation in august, but if I do have a possibility I´ll gladely be there. Then we can have a mini-meet of our own

If any of you guys choose to come over to Sweden this summer, please visit Eskilstuna (The place where I live) We have a really nice zoo, where each weekend we have some "famous" bands that will play.
We also have some rather interesting streetracing going on in Eskilstuna. Not the kind of streetracing you see from the states, it´s perfectly safe and almost allways a blast to see.

If any of you guys/girls want to get any pointers of where to go and where not to go, just send me a PM.

I´ll let you all know when I´m going over to tomcat. I´ll open a thread in the off topic or something.

Back to the thread...
I personaly think that you should go for the Evolvo S/V/C70 and the R-bumper for the 850/855.
There I think you would find the most buyers (Well maby the R-bumper for S/V/C70 as well)

[mike 850]

do you reckon you will do a t5r 850 bumper, if so i want one

[Tomcat]

Yup judging by the amount of interest again I'll be starting doing these again very soon, I just have to finish Peters bumper first. All the other items mentioned(bar the Evolve and the V70R) are only ideas at the moment and are dependent on the amount of interest.

[Tomcat]

Having given some thought to it, being as Evolve have started to cater for the early V70's as well I'm not so sure it would be safe (or legal) to start selling replicas. I originaly agreed to do this because Evolve didn't make anything for the early versions of the V70, as such there wasn't a problem with doing them.

Sorry guys but I don't want to go getting myself dragged into court over this. Some of us have already spent money developing this(I've also lost all the time I put into it) and its a shame, but ultimately not worth the risk in my opinion

Agh.

[Tomcat]

Soz mate, if your still interested in an R bumper then I will give you some discount on it, I would have loved to do the Evolve ones but being as I've recently seen pics of the ones they do, I honestly don't think its worth the risk. Do you??

[Baj]

Agh.

What he says ^^

Evolve dont sell here though.
Personally I dont see the problem.
You are not selling it on the open market as an Evolve bumper, you are flogging to us (two of us by the looks of it) as an Evolve style bumper (even less so if you stick the vents on it too) and I wont tell.

If you are that sure maybe you could do an R bumper but just stretch it down a bit.

I was getting quite excited about that
