Which Volvo's Have That Undefinable "Pistonhead" Quality?

Fair point, well made!!!

I think the poise of the S60 is something quite unique.

Pics of mine below:





unfortunately having to consider changing it , heopfully for a D5 at least. My commute does not favours for a T5's fuel economy!

The sports pack looks good, but the scraping and knocking you get with the suspension and steering is annoying. I don't think it was built for 18s.

I do like Aeroresh's body kit though
Aeroresh - do you get any similar noises?

I seem to have erredicated all my knocks and bangs by lots of bush changing when the suspension went on. Handles like a dream now and ride is still pretty good even on 19" wheels with Koni FSD shocks / Eibach springs.

The bodykit you mention is just the HEICO front spoiler. The illusion is created just through lots of colour coding of the grey plastic bits of trim!

It does look fantastic.
Mind if I ask how you did the trim? Did you get the bits from Volvo and paint them, or do you know someone who does it?

Interesting point about changing the bushes. It would be a lot easier to live with if you didn't get all the weird noises. Mine's still in warranty until March, so I might get them to have a good look, if I end up keeping it.

Cheers.

Trim is orginal, just smoothed and sprayed I believe.

Any reputable bodyshop should be able to do it for you.
