I think i need to fold angle with warmth air, in order to make straight angle and for avoid swollen on lateral bumper...

Very Thanks!

The front bumper looks great on this car, and no disrespect to the owner, but I think this car could have been done better.

First off, the side molding should have been changed to the S90/960 color-keyed molding, or even the S70 molding to match the front bumper.

Also, notice the rear bumper? That should have been modified to either the S90/960 rear bumper, or better yet, an S70 rear bumper. That mod is pretty easy to do... I've seen it on quite a few Swedish rides from the Vallakra pics.

I would like to know exactly how this is done also. I have numerous pictures of cars, from the Vallakra show in Sweden, with this conversion. Maybe there is someone out there from Sweden that knows how it is done. I converted my 87 740 to a 940 then converted the front and rear to V90.

NChoy: Can we see some pics of your conversion? Heh, while pictures are great, seeing the car in person is AMAZING!

I've seen it on quite a few Swedish rides from the Vallakra pics. Agreed the car looks awesome! In my mind the side molding could go either way. However if it was retained the front bumper should incorporate some black (like the 850s) to wrap the whole car together. Otherwise it needs to be changed to the color keyed like you mentioned along with the rear bumper.

take care

How about putting 850 front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper on a 91 740Ti?

Nick can you pm me with any info you have about the swap? I have all the parts on a wrecked 850 in my driveway. I've seen pictures and heard you say somthing about putting 850 front on a 7 all you need is a spacer for the 90 and newer cars?

What about the side skirts?

Rear bumper cover?

Guess I better go measure all this stuff
