Cool - I might be able to do something with it :D "R" grilles are difficult to come by tho. I'll watch the scrappys.
nice progress. the R grille doesnt straight fit to non R models as the nose shape is different , and it is more recessed. you might be able to modify it though.

dont worry tom, jus messing with youa ;) my offer still stands- and im more than willing to do any requests(photoshop that is- i have my limits sexually ;) )
Good to see progress on your car , this forum suits it much better mor open minded membership, the world needs a Kawa green volvo and you are the man for the job ! I absolutely forbid anyone else from copying you, Though I fully intend to nick the idea of electric blue calipers my car is very similair colur to yours. you are a true visionary sir! Cant wait to see result,
cheers ken! weird colour it is- mistral green.... your is looking good too! dont worry my next job is calipers again lol going red. and gotta put on shiny new wheel bolts :)
fresh brakes n new bolts!
also cleaned up my exhaust sys- looks better than new!
Wot kind of tyres are they? Did you have to space them to get away with 235 on the front or does the bbs have a greater offset?
round ones lol nah no spacing. et45. would be the same as an R wheel...

On second look they re nexen tyres recently got some from t5ramusin and really like them , theres not much more than the summer left on them so will switch back to winter tyre in the autumn but was thinking of getting some for next year Are they generally ok .I have never seen them before. Compound seems quite soft and grippy .

whats a project thread without pics!!
Oooo that's really coming together now. I like the look of the later S60's, I just cant bleedin afford one,lol.
cheers tom! cant wait to get hold of the new interior! :)
Is that an R interior?...
yup nordkap facelift full kit! seats, doors, arm rest and gear surround :D
Nice find!.. And yet you haven't fitted it yet?.. I'd have been out there straight away fitting it..lol..
O if it was in my possession, itd be in straight away!! just ordered it from germany the other day, so may take a while lol
Remember - battery off before removing the seats and key in position II before reconnecting it ;) Keep it up dude, looking forward to seeing the finished car (even if the exterior will clash with the interior lol)
will do bud....never had a problem reconnecting with the keys not in tbh...

Waxed matte black wheels
cleaned the car today....
wanted to apply some wax to my wheels too...enough talking lol...
Lovely just lovely! :B_thumb:
aw cheers ian!
gonna do them again in the week with the machine. jus watin on a new polishing bit to do it :)
see how much shine i can get out of the matte-ish wheels lol
been looking into bonnet vents an rear spoilers with inspiration from evos lol hmmm?
Those wheels look amazing, though I'd be dubious about taking a machine polisher to them, it'd be very easy to break through the paint on them as it wont be very thick. If you want some fibreglass parts fabricating gimme a shout.

strange that i like the top one but inverted maybe
none for me, it would look good with vents, just none of those IMO.

yes, but at the back, and a couple of elevate side vents
?
Yep, move the side ones back a bit, but that would look the dogz.
i think you should leave it as it is and get some tints and polish it to death. i think to alter it to much will just spoil it
tints are on the list. polishing wont be till its spayed....
gonna see how it gets on with some vents. can always get some spair bonnet to try...
think ill try pic 1, 2 and poss 4 lol
just for show...

RS bumper conversion?
i like the bottom lip, but not the fugly bit in the middle.
evo bumper conversion?
actually, that is nice. :B_thumb: you should be able to find a write off one - the cars have way more talent than their drivers. just dont go to a dealer and ask a price, you'll need resuss.......
if you did put a black section in the front like that, carbon wrap the roof as well.
definatly getting some ideas going lol ive got a glossy black roof now, if it was to go carbon itd have to be gloss as im not a fan of the common carbon rap tbh... ill do more later with a hybrid evo 8 9 bumper. they almost look like theyl be a straight swap lol
[QUOTE=T5RatherAmusin;641361]evo bumper conversion?
[/QUOTE]
I've just been sick in my mouth!
Really not keen on that one dude.
Lol all jyst a but of fun mart ;)
the 8/9 is more of a s40classic size, you need a 10 i reackon. i sized up a 7 rear spoiler for my s40 , which was the right width, but i couldnt find one. forgot you already had a black roof- dificult to tell from that angle.
There is a new carbon wrap out .the 4d type which has that kind of translucent depth like real carbon fibre , I looked at the other stuff and was reminded of that plastic stuff your granny lined drawers and shelves with.
these lil beauts just turned up!
really thinking of going polestar blue again :lol: seen a v40 in rebel the other day and my jaw just dropped! think having blue leathers helps too :pirate:
test fits! photos!!
Do I polestar it?? :rotfl:
It will look great when they are fitted, who's cutting the holes out?
[QUOTE=iancho;641818]It will look great when they are fitted, who's cutting the holes out?[/QUOTE] cheers ian! that will be myself matey ;)
hmmm decisions lol?
nah go green!!! this car is a monster.
funny that. everyone ive asked so far has said the green lol
these came today so will try them later...
This was the ball I was on bouts too.
See how shiny I can get the wheels lol
I like the idea of that. Lets hope the fluffy bit lasts and you dont start blitzing the wheels with the metal
new vent looks like this.
not sure im feeling it like the rs vents...what u lot think??
[QUOTE=volvokid;642112]I like the idea of that. Lets hope the fluffy bit lasts and you dont start blitzing the wheels with the metal[/QUOTE]

thort id put up this sound video! brum brum :D
polished wheels up. can say now thay are gloss!
see how they last. think ill take em in for a resray on laquered black tbh. i likes shiny :)
getting some propper reflections too!
some black bolts would finish those off nicley
Please tell me those are the rear brakes I can see, they look tiny! Car sounds dirty by the way ;)
Amazing results from your wheels! What colour are they? You should do a profile shot so we can see what they look like from a distance :)
[QUOTE=graemewelch;642895]some black bolts would finish those off nicley[/QUOTE] ye, shiny looks good for know. works with the shiny rim lip. will do a black bolts with 1 green once sprayed tho...;) [QUOTE=M-R-P;642903]Please tell me those are the rear brakes I can see, they look tiny!

[QUOTE=T5RatherAmusin;642912]GTFO you! :rotfl: when it comes to me next needing new pads i think ill get myself a set of the R brembob :D[/QUOTE] They're only 330mm :D Look at it this way - if you took 6mm off the end of your old fella, you'd miss it ;)
but theyr brembobs!! :rotfl: could always get the like of brembobs ultimate kit and get like 355mm.. would 400mm fit under 18s? lol
the calipers fit under my 17s with only about 15mm spare lol so you should be able to go for 350, possibly more depending on the size of the calipers :D Took V70Graham out the other day to show him the handling and ended up doing an "emergency maneuver". First time I'd felt the ABS kick-in since I got those brakes and by 'ek they're effective. Not sure if Miss Daisy was impressed tho lol.
made a cut template, got my mini grinder and everything out to begin cutting, for it to start raining! :uglyhamme tbc
get your self a fishing brolley and work under it. done that many times when started a job that needed to be finished asap. get funny looks offf the neighbours though
Sod's law it's always like that lol :(
weather permitting :rotfl: will be doing em later this morning ;)
seeing as i wasnt able to chop up my bonnet as its raining..... i chopped up an old hu603 which i won on ebay for 99p to make do till i go double din which is from the old s60 so chopped it up to fit my facelift surround. HA!
Chopped cd player!
thatll do! much better than before hanging out lol
wont be long before i go double din tho as when the new seats go in, ill just wanna get the interior minted :)
started chopping!!
few pics of the vents before i seal them it....
goot clean er up now seal em in....
messy stuff :rotfl:
how i found them this morning after the seal fully dry....
cant wait to see those painted. what you used to seal them with. tiger seal
ye man tiger seal.
ye think im going blue now tbh :rotfl:
i prefer the blue. whens it getting painted
not quite sure yet tbh got figure out priorities for it 1st for it to see whens best for it to get done.... like stuff thatll prevent me working on the paintwork or removing panels etc to cause damage lol gotta get a set of fogs and new headlights. was thinking of getting the fmic done before too. i desperatly want it mapped too :D been looking at back up colour too as i think polestar/rebel may have a bit of a price tag was looking at fiat sprint blue, renault racing blue and rover pageant blue will see what mr sprayer has to say i guess tho lol
Kingfisher blue or here's one... Rover Polynesian turquoise.
theyr not quite what im after matey lol i dont want metallic. after a solid gloss blue like the rebel blue or youd see on the new xfrs or vanquish lol
blue hammerite then :)
lol with a brush :rotfl: too dark i think...
i dont like the blue, it will just look like the ppc concept again,
do something different - candy apple red?
http://www.specialistpaints.com/ take a look on this site. itll might give you some silly ideas like it has given me
I dont want it to look like a sonic blue or anything silly Just shiny solid like polestar blue
only solid colour id has is black or white. i had my rs turbo cabriolet paint audi white. i think your car would look best if was white.
White Volvos are the best :)
I love black and white too Just think black dont look anything special And white too common lol
wouldnt say white that comon. only on estates :funkybana best looking car i had was a white one
i'm already fed up with polestar blue - especially when i see it on xc60's where it is minging.
I no itd look good white but want a one off.... Lol my jaw drops when I see s rebel blue newer ovlov Think its the best colour for them... Id still go green but think itll clash with the blue seats now lol
its the small mods you do that make it a one off.
Like bonnet vents :rotfl:
the vents are nice, nothing wrong with your choice
are nice now there fitted. wasnt sure at first
[QUOTE=partsforvolvos.com;644982]the vents are nice, nothing wrong with your choice[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=graemewelch;644986]are nice now there fitted. wasnt sure at first[/QUOTE] cheers ladies! im happy with them! think theyr edgy but subtle enough if you know what i mean... theyl be colour coded too with the new colour i was looking on ebay at drls lol.....im realy unsure bout them tbh if theyd work with the s60 maybe if done right maybe.... the main thing i like bout the ones i was looking at was they change to orange when indicating...
whats drls
day running lights....them led fogs...
Like the vents. What's all this bull about blue I thought we had a clear understanding it was going Kawasaki Lets have no more of this blue backsliding,, You would have to rename your thread or face prosecution under trades description act . Just think , someone starts reading your thread Going Kawasaki and by the end of the thread it gets painted blue. I vote Green!
:rotfl: I bort myself some blue leathers... howd u recon Theyd look with the green?
How blue is blue? Are we talking blue orBluuuue I think we have to see the seats first. Remember "it's not easy being green " not my words Kermit the Frog

Ha! Polestar house ftw!
Had a company car years ago in that colour. It was a crappy Rover 216 ,it got written off at three weeks old . A bloke in a Sierra piled into the back of it .car folded up ,drivers seat with me in it ended up in back seat. Boy those Rovers were badly built. I will try to find the Audi blue . It was awesome it looked like it was backlit. Oh and there was a real nice little blonde driving it, I don't think she comes with the paint job,lol.

It was much brighter than that , but having said that nogaro blue is pretty good, I searched all over for it and suspect it might be one of these any colour you want options from Audi which appears to cost another £ 2500 . The nogaro blue might work well with your seats.

that looks a lot better than I thought it would, I might be changing my vote from green to blue, would certainly work better with the seats.

Yeah i geddit how do you keep an idiot in suspense? I' ll tell you at christmas lol Looking forward to surprise, tell wife christmas is a religious not a retail festival. Doesn't work for me but worth trying.

ye man. still got get these seats sorted too lol not much prep left now. cant wait :)
I still like the green tbh!! the blue is nice but green is better :)
part of the surprise is being green :rotfl: but the other part im not saying :bud:
oooh your such a tease lol
working with an idea.....
2 styles turned up. im waiting on many more different designs of these to see whatd look half decent lol
1st came these. which are too big or too small.
what im wanting to do is have the finals change orange with the indicators...
then these came which are a near perfect fit. would also run the oe fogs too if i went with this kinda option
carful mate, you be joing the saxo and corsa lot. not keen and led light n stuff. i rekon they look tacky. a fmic would look better than most things on the front of your motor
i know what your saying. theyr a legalality on all new cars now... atm its just an idea. my mission is to make it look like they were like that from the factory lolol ive got about another 6 differnt designs to come a fmic on on the list for begging of the new yr :) along with many more goodies :)
TBH mate I'm not keen on what look like fairy lights on the front of the car, even if they are law on new cars. Have you seen the one's on rthe new Clio, they just look like Halfords specials. ;)
ill see if i can change your mind with whats to come :rotfl: i kinda agree tbh they can look garbage! thinking to link them to the fogs switch or sidelight. atm i aint got fogs so have to get it activated, but sounds the better option i think i dont want them as a day running lol

cheers grae! i thinking the car might see all 3 colours- green,blue n white! in the new yr :funkybana

Dude your seriously shaking the wrong banana tree if you think any kits or spoilers like that are going to get people agreeing. Think the whole point of a Volvo is to blend in & attack when they least expect it in my eyes. It's not my car though so you do what you want, but your probably better leaving the element of surprise before you let the haters hate. It's a good job we don't all like the same styles. & components.
Blue one looks good ;)
im not one to 'blend in' whas the point in that lol. i hate volvos branding image it has 'pipes an slippers'
remember im only 24 :rotfl:

Look forward to seeing it done. :)

Naah, facelifting it will make it look like a newer V70, but a V70 none the less. I want it to look just a little different from the norm.

Paints not top of my list atm Something came up the other day which I couldn't let go as I'd prob never see another one! Lol Yet it won't delay any time to paint What does is -next week my cars off road as engine is getting stripped and have to wait for the goodies. But trust me, you'll enjoy that update ;) If I'm lucky and the boss allows while it off the road I'll treat it to some 356mm 8 pot brake kit :D

List price was about £ 969 But I've asked directly for best price... I will be getting a remap soon. I almost did this week, bort the steering wheel instead lol For when the cars off the road I'll either go for the remap then or see about these brakes But I also want to get a double din to Finnish off the interor lol
Nice steering wheel
new wheel fitted!
Looking a bit naked
Quick question... Why does it have the round top engine mount when iirc, they went over to square bush before the 2.4 came out?
couldnt tell ya bud. maybe it's been changed in its life :/
new front mount
Not sure but I think my top mount is round too from memory and mine is a 2.4 (2005)
think you get an extra 10 hp with the round ones ;)
Our R has a square one, but I don't think they all did, I guess theyt fitted what was to hand at the time, bloody Ford. ;)

Looking good. Just wondering what your plan is for you old intercooler. Ill do ya a deal with a 3" intake
sorry All ready sold grae . ive got a new intake pipe coming too lol
Is it to use as a template for a drop in? I've still got it here so I could prob make u up a cardboard template if that would be any good to u?
It was for development work. I wontnt useca template. Its ok ill get a loan one from europarts. What intake pipe you getting
what u mean a loan one? all the s60 coolers are the same, there just 2 variation of where the map is(not including R twintercooler) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-S60-2-0-Turbo-Intercooler-/141194525708?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20dfd97c0c Roose motorsport
i know there all the same but mine hasnt got a oe intercooler so i need a cheap one for me to play with. i cant give away my europarts secrets
fair enough lol I linked you a cheap one tho ;)
I managed to get hold of the alloy knob vents! lol also some cooler piping hopefully the big kit shall urn up soon :)
Quick mock...

plastidipped my spark cover yesterday [ATTACH=CONFIG]24839[/ATTACH] not sure i like it after putting it back on :/ [ATTACH=CONFIG]24840[/ATTACH] think i may do it satin to match the lower tbh
It matches the coolant reservoir cap not the hoses, looks a nice tidy job though.
Looking good! As Graham said its a shame the plastidip does not match hoses
ye think im gonna peel off on go satin like the manifold cover lol
thats me sorted for a remap later this week :D a custom dream3r map to see me around 1.45bar :D driveshaft shoulda turned up yesterday, but no show. just got a new ball joint and cv to go in and aload of alcantara to play with!
A bit gloss black would look nice instead of the blue
[QUOTE=graemewelch;708380]A bit gloss black would look nice instead of the blue[/QUOTE] ye i dont like it too looks kinda wierd lol ye could go gloss, satin or carbon. may get the lower one carbon then...
still no driveshaft- 24hr service my arse! theyve had it over a week on not made 1 attempt to deliver so started on the boot with some alcantara, got 2 panels done. think ill get pics up when complete...

Good stuff, you had your map done yet? if so how does it go?
[QUOTE=expolicev70t5;712137]Good stuff, you had your map done yet? if so how does it go?[/QUOTE] Not quite yet matey. Just waiting for the ecu removal tool off Jon. Then will have to send it off to him. Should be sent back yo me next day I believe tho. I also heard Jon can do backup ECUs ice you get a second ecu and hell me a copy of your std map on that...
going thru my computer ive found a few pics i thort i lost. will up date in a mo once uploaded...
mocking up the boost gear. and finding out how naff hammerite hight heat is! you can just bout see it pitting so had to repaint the whole thing again- i used autotek. brilliant!
how the new 3.25" maf to turbo pipe looks attached to maf and after a spraying of how the mani cover now looks
more mock up of getting all how i wanted it and trying out the mani cover, and adding a lil touch of polestar to it
was untill my auxillary hoses came i could be bothered to actually get the ic mounted up and slam panel back on- lights n bumper etc, but it was starting to take shape i guess. these pics. nothing is mounted .just placed on to see lol
that just about fills the gap. as for the blue plastidipped cover, it made me cringe when opening the bonnet so i peeled it straight off! got new ecu lid in and a few more shiny bolts in there :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]25169[/ATTACH]
that looks brilliant mate you've done a good on that bay ;)
