My white 744 with Polaris and some more!

[JE Jr]

After getting the new wheels and some white blinkers on I washed it today and headed out for a photosession! :cool:

Yea, I know the holes from the headlight washers, but blame the Volvo dealer!
They could only get me the left border, the right side was probably NLA, I will call them this week and ask again... (if any fellow T-bricker in a country with no headlight wipers reads this I would be very happy if you could find a set and send it to me!!)

hottttt

[badvlvo]

Nice looking ride. Sweden looks beautiful too.

[jfs356]

That is one hot looking 740, love the white color and those wheels. Looks mint condition, too....

[fige]

How about making the rear bumper stripe also white?

Ze car iz hot

[Volvofly]

Were the white front and red rear stripes an option on 740s? Was it just a Euro thing? Is it just tape?

[davidmacq]

Did you paint the bumpers black, or just very new bumpers? lol

[Hank Scorpio]

way hot. Polaris really are the RWD wheel.

[Gene_GaTech]

wow...that looks awesome. i really like the red trim on the bumper.

[BigBen]

what kind of interior / headrests are these? pictures?

[MikeHardy]

the tapes are reflective, white for front, red for rear like your lights are.

[Gene_GaTech]

Thread jack// woh cool. is that sold for the volvo or just regular reflective tape?

[1stRaven]

Lovely car. One thing that would really get that car going would be hova rear clusters.

[Tick]

Very tidy. How about some fogs and new tails? :twisted:

Submit it to ipd. I've seen 'em put some pretty standard looking grocery getters in. So you def' ought to be in the running.

[MikeSr.]

Beeyootiful! I love the 740 with Polaris. Nice ride.

[JE Jr]

Thanks for the nice comments! it really inspires me to put down the money and the effort to make it look good!

About the mint condition: It's easy to take photos from the best angles, isn't it? :-P
I will hopefully fix the rust, scratches and so on this summer!

Bumper stripes: It was a non US/Canada Volvo accessory! I bought it at my local dealer 3 yeas ago!

Black bumpers: Heh, Don't know, no desert sun here tearing on it, but I think they would enjoy a polishing with some bumper-shine or such...

Interior/Headrests:Here's a pic, the headrest covers are some Volvo accessory, quite cheap(~$35), and I like them very much! Don't know if they're available outside Sweden??
Yea, I know, the rest of the R-Sport interior is missing, After buying all the other stuff I'm to poor to buy a complete set! :-(

Hova rear clusters: Hm, I like the look of the brick-type taillights, and I'm thinking of buying white lenses as stylnge2003 has! They're quite expensive though, and then I need some new taillights with the chrome strip tails, but they're next to impossible to find used in good shape...

Fogs? Naa, I'm not really into them, I like the clean look without them.

What do you think, should I put on the Add-on front splitters? I have them, but actually I'm not sure if it would look better or not???

[ajwilson999]

dont add them on and sell them to me!!! ive been after them for ages! (+ throw in the polaris)

[Addicted242Boost]

+1 for the splitters

[foggyjames]

Fit the splitters, but before you do...get some copies made ;-) I know of at least two people in the UK alone who'd buy a set.

cheers

James

[JE Jr]

Some updates! Not so much for looks right now, more tuning and other small stuff!

Used 2,5" Exhaust is on! Yea, I will reinstall the rear panel under the bumper...

Looking very good! I'm sure if you submit some of those photos you'll be seeing your car in the IPD catalog. I really like the Volvo Original seat belt pads. Are they still available somewhere?

[SteveP]

Damn, that is a lovely car! Nice work!

[oldschoolvolvo]

very nice!

[brickhead]

very nice!

whats the part# for the reflective bumper tape? i have DOT reflective bumper tape that is used here on the trucks/semi but i have to cut to install. meaning there would be breaks in the tape strips as opposed to having one long strip and the two side strips

[KLowD9x]

http://web.telia.com/~u24015005/740%20-%2024mm%20kranghammare.jpg


LOL, Sweden

[JE Jr]

Thanks!


Brickhead: That reflective tape is a non-US item, but I can ship it to you if you want, they were still available when I asked the dealer a week ago!

KLowD9x: Heh, you meaning the brown-and-bad stuff? Yea, salty winters, I hate it! But actually my car is quite rust free! I've cleaned up most of the rust by now! Seems from a picture Chigga put up during the winter that they have much worse salt than we do over here!

[JE Jr]

Yea!
The bling-a-delic chrome rings are in! :badboy:

http://web.telia.com/~u24015005/740%20-%20kromringar.jpg

[davidmacq]

Dang where you get them chrome rings?

YES! How much was the reflective tape? I'm interested!

[blkaplan]

Wow, a very nice and clean 700 series.


those words dont come out of my mouth often.

[V-Jet]

Plastic inner fenders for the front!
http://web.telia.com/~u24015005/740%20-%20Innerskarm%20fram.jpg
Nice car! Now all you need is plastic inner fenders for the rear from a late 760 or early 960!

[foggyjames]

Damn playah...that **** is pretty damn bling (http://thursdaynightfever.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/crunk.jpg)

cheers

[stylngle2003]

reflective tape can be found at home depot

[davidmacq]

reflective tape can be found at home depot

I think he meant red and white was available for the car, with no cutting or measuring.

I'd rather pay some money rather than have a long strip of reflective tape on my car that was cut by hand.
