glue them

Didn't like the idea of them being permanently stuck on especially since I wasn't 100% happy with the look.

All in the name of perfection 

imo the V70R spoiler is the best thing to fit on the C70, really looks gorgeous on that car!!!

And with that combination the car looks much classier, I share their opinion, lose those eyebrows!

You could also place the volvo slash, but instead of the volvo sign, your sharon sign!
In that way you keep it really personal, out of the ordinary, but still the nose won't look awkward....
But it's still my simple opinion and on this forum everybody ventilates their idea of what they would appreciate, hope with all opinions and sugestions you find some useful things or things that give you some inspiration...

O, by the way, the edge around the grille: chrome or dark grey,as in the grille of the SD II...

Succes with the changes bro!!

I'd like to think that when I saw the car from a distance, that my change of heart was from a personal perspective, but I have to admit that this forum has definitly influenced me somewhat. But that's why I post here at all, to get feedback and have other enthusiasts vent their ideas. The eyelids are off for now, but I'm gonna try sanding them down into a whole different shape with which I'll try to maintain the classiness, still formulating ideas on that one.

The R fender is on the list of things to do, but like the grill and lids, I'm up for just getting it and slapping it on without making it "mine". The lines don't fit the C70 entirely and its not rounded enough along the front edge, so that will involve some customization.

The grill, I haven't decided on color, but that's because I'm working on a completely custom set up from the ground up, actually, its based on the Volvo XC grill, except it will involve alot of chopping and cutting and sanding etc etc.

The future of Project Sharon

ah, so make a render with changes I wouldn't even consider in my life time
I'll see what I can do

After


Side by side




More to come...

Thinking of painting them black, or maybe Saffron... thats one opinion, whats yours?

Today was simply nothing short of an awesome day as I took a drive from Groningen to Moegestel to pay Marc and European Tuning a visit. This was my first time visiting the area let alone Marc and his shop so I wasn't sure what to expect.

Upon arriving around midday, I noticed a few very sweet rides parked in the lot and inside the workshop were a couple more, including Marc's black R with the CF hood!    Having gotten some coffee, Marc, Tom and myself sat down in what I can only describe as a very clean and professional show room where display cabinets were showing off various parts that I've only ever seen in pictures on the internet. Its a WHOLE different experience on its own seeing simple things like projector headlights for the x70 cars or rear-spoilers for the 850 in real life instead of on 300x500 images on your monitor. It was like sitting in a real live Volvo hobby room!

After coffee and discussions about future projects and other stuff, Marc decided he was going to install the 19" replica Pegs on Sharon. I gotta say that he treated her with more care and professionalism than I ever have, and it's MY car!! Seriously, his attention to detail is almost surreal, not only installing the Pegs with amazing and complete care, but also adjusting my exhaust tips which cleaned up the rear, putting silver bulbs in my corner lights to clean up the front and finally tightening some of the bits and pieces in the engine bay, and all this simply they're both perfectionist and Volvo ethusiasts of the highest degree!

Having completed work on Sharon, we sat outside the workshop and just admired the new look and talked all things Volvo. I can only say that both Mark and Tom are both stand-up guys, very down to earth with answers to pretty much every volvo question I had of which I had MANY! The hours spent in bumper to bumper traffic was well worth it! You simply don't get the experience by looking at pictures on the web, ordering them and getting them in the box. Its like Americans doing the Overseas Delivery Program to pick up their Volvo from Gothenburg

Anywho, I can go on and on about how cool a day it has been, but I'll just post some pics of the car which we took, I'll go on location sometime soon to take more pics with the new shoes Thanks again Mark and Tom the day and your endless patience with my questions 

Marc bring Sharon to the workshop


Going on the lift


Sharon on the lift, with Marc double and triple checking the jack point of the lift!


The new Pegs are on!!!!


A few shots at different angles.

Zo dat staat wel heel net Barry! Kleur van de velgen staat ook beeldig.  Achter nog spacertjes misschien.

Welke banden heb je erop?

 

Barry: 

Those wheels are most beautifull!

Great pick for the C70 these rims 
they fill the arches very nice
