The stereo is quite nice. Two Cerwin Vega 12" Vega 124.

Still only 116hp, but it´s at least enough for burning rubber! 8-)

Very nice. I can't quite get with the rear window sticker, but hey...it's your car, not mine.
I really like the airdam and wheels.

[riseosiris]

The car is gorgeous! :hitit: I especially like the wheels. What brand are they? What size rim/tire?

[volvofanatic]

They are called Dial Elysée and are 7½*17" and the tires are Falken FK-451 225/35-17. The rims are quite unusual, I´ve only seen them on one other Volvo besides mine and on 2-3 other cars.

[nothing but turbo]

can I have your license plate? name your price!

about the car: I want that too! :-D

[volvofanatic]

LOL :rofl:

Not for sale! Not as long as I´m alive. O:-)

[hockey930]

that thing is sick man, I love everything about it except the rear window sticker, but as stated above it's your car not mine. You have donegreat work on that beast and I would be proud to drive it.

What springs are you using?

[Sterndogg02]

DAMN!!!!! :eek: Absolutely love it!!!

[volvofanatic]

What springs are you using?

The springs are swedish made Kilen (made by Lesjöfors) and the rear springs are cut one round. It gives a total lowering of about 60mm (almost 2,5").

Without cutting the rear springs I think the car tilts to much forward.


I´ve had thoughts about removing the window sticker so it might be gone til the sommer.

[740TurboPerformance]

all that and some Cerwins................ :eek: hella like it............... nice work man!

[towerymt]

Very nice car! I like how you've painted the headlights black around where the reflector is attached, and I like the all red taillights. I've done the same to my car. :wink: I still want an 850R rear spoiler, however. Red is one of the best colors on a 240.

[coldfusion21]

what kinda of kit is that? i think it really makes the car stand out alot

[volvofanatic]

Actually the area around the reflectors aren´t painted black. I´ve puts som carbov fibre look folie there.

The bodykit is called Bross.

I bought them from guy selling them in an ad. They are made by a car audio dealer in Gothenburg Sweden. The are built in MDF-board.
I´m going to remove the cloth and put som black synthetic leather (vinyl?) on them instead. I think that they´ll look better with that.

Hi Patrik,
does the car audio dealer in Gothenburg have a website or an email address?
Was this a custom one-time deal, or is it something they make on a regular basis?
There may be a small market for these panels in the USA...
In your case, I think they'd look better with black vinyl than with cloth/carpeting.

I don´t even know which car audio dealer it was that made them.
It was the guy I bought them from that hade them special made at the car audio shop. So it´s a custom one-time deal, yes.

[fupabox]

Sweeeeet :-D :-D except for the rear window sticker,but thats just my opinion. Nice job!!!
