Love the dual exhaust. Wonder if this bumper will fit an 850 to do the dual set-up?

After introducing myself here: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... =4&t=59060

I of course should put some pictures here too I suppose.. :mrgreen:

This is how my car looks at the moment:

(on this picture my automatic shockabsorbers where dead, so that's why the car sits so low. They have been replaced by new "nivomats")

Thanks guys!
But it isn't a R, 850LPT ;-)
It has (more than) the power of an R, but I'm missing the original R-bumper. But it will come one day... 8)

It started out as a normal 2.4T, but now has a V70n 2.3 T5 engine in it, software will be chipped to around 280-300bhp in 2 weeks. (just have the engine in for a week now).

The headlights are aftermarket ones from Sweden, with real glass lenses. They are also available from ebay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Volvo-S70-V70-C ... 0671264%26

I needed new headlights and find the original clear ones from the C70 (2000-2004) just too expensive..
And this works perfectly with xenon HID :D

Here's my 2006 XC70 50,000KM after installing the BadSwede 2" lift no noticeable suspension sag! I also have a picture of my beefy 215/70/16 Cooper Discoverer M+S winter tires I just installed a few days ago, these are a truck tire; looking forward to bucking some serious snow this winter. They are indeed a very snug fit in the rear :D
