first one in the family to own a vovlo

Post by density_shears »

I just purchased a 1998 s70 and i'm very happy so far with the cars performance. some one hit my car when it was parked so i need to purchase a new front bumper and a driver side front panel. i was wonder a couple of things. ARe there custom fron bumpers that i can purchase for my car, something differnet. aslo just wondering what company would be good to purchase a front panel. i'm kinda upset that someone hit my car and didn't own up to it, but maybe i can make my car a bit different to balance off the anger.
thnks so much

Hi Joe,

Congrats on the volvo purchase. That's a great car IMHO. Too bad about the hit and run. Could that hit and run mess up the airbag sensors in any way?

My wife rear-ended a taxi and cracked ours up - but no airbag deployment as the super expensive airbag computer had already failed a number of years ago.
