Home at last !!!!

May 2nd, 2002, 08:17

Hi all,

I have recently been pointed towards this group by Phil Wright and I must say it is a great relief to finally find so many other like minded Volvo owners.

I have only touched on the surface of reading through all the info on these boards and have already found many of my long standing questions answered.

Whilst I am writing I am also on the look out for the following items if anyone can help.

T5-R Front Bumper
850/70 Tailgate Spoiler
17" Volan Alloys
CD Autochanger

Many thanks,

Phil.

Hi Phil,

Well if you have an 850 post 93 with split headlamps yes you can fit one to yours. It retails for about £120 quid and is quite easy to fit. If you have foglights the holes are already there not like the drilling that was originally needed like on my 94.

The rear spoiler i presume is for an estate. This is fairly easy to install also. I don't know the cost though.

thats my input as i drive a saloon.

Most of what you need is already on the sale forums, though I think the £120 price for a R front bumper is a little optimistic.

It has to be sprayed at the factory I believe so I don't think you'll get it for that.

Volvo have confirmfirmed that the R front bumper (outer shell only) retails at £167 + VAT + painting hence I would rather go the used option.

And the only one of the requested items I could find in the sale forums was a set of four Volans (wheels only) for £450, is this this sort of price that I should expect to pay for them?

Bluntly, yes if they're good - I paid £100 for my spare Volans.

If you think that's pricey, remember that they're £300+ at a dealers.
