Whats up guys. Wanted to show you one of my projects. Its a Super clean 1999 volvo S70 AWD. I don't really see to many AWD S70s. What I have done to the car so far is V70R front bumper, V70R wheels, dual exhaust , Factory T5 wing, Euro clean corners, and Jewel headlights. My next mod that I want to do is a BBK kit in yellow to finish off the car. Also Refinish the wheels.
Yea I just did the renderings of the design in photoshop and sent it to my guy. This is what im going to try and pull off. Im doing all black inserts with Grey diamond stitching. I think it looks hot.
So the new door panels are all done and im in love with them! All volvo S70 owners know how much it sucks to have probably 90% of all s70 volvos with detached door panel cards. I might start offering this to the community. Im going in a few to install them and post more pics. Enjoy the pics. Let me know what you guys think. I did black vinyl with gray stitching.
great car. the chrome waterfall grille contrasts too much with the black plastic of the lower fascia -- have you tried an eggcrate? getting jewel corner lights will really bring it together. not a huge fan of the BBS -- OEM Volvo wheels are just too good, hard to beat them. My vote would be anthracite Volans or Titans. anything >17" is too gaudy on P80s IMO, but that might just me.

Thanks. I have thought about the eggcrate grill but im really feeling the chrome grill with the jewel headlights. About the jewel corners they will look nice but I dont like the orange on the sides of them. Wish they were all clear.
Really? I disagree on that one. Because they're titan-ish I think they work better than all that business especially on a dark color car. S70 angles and simplicity. Same style wheel seems more appropriate. I completely agree on the eggcrate grill though. That would make this car 'the fire'.
It is SO nice to see a clean S70 AWD that is still in existence. Loving it so far, @jstrat85! Those door panels look fantastic too.
I actually really dig the Pegs too. The BBS style wheels look nice but I would be concerned about them being eaten up by the NY roads. Certain rep companies aren't very well known for strength.
Thanks bud. Hard to find old cars in super clean condition these days. Also love the way the door panels came out. Feels like a new car. And you really cant go wrong with the Pegs. Super clean wheel for these cars.
Today's project! Finally got the porsche 996 front and oem volvo R calipers painted porsche yellow. Then I laid down the brembo graphics. Im in love! Cant wait to install them!
Ooooo lol. The funny thing is they make them tho. lol!!!!!!!!!
