You don't happen to have a picture of it with the magnis on it? It looks just like itwontstopsnowins car except... different? I really can't put my finger on it. (edit: a bit more stock? not lowered and more regular wheels compared to snowins venators and bors that are more unsual, never seen bors on an S80 before). I also just regained my crush on black S80s. And I have to admit, I have never really liked the new rear chrome trims but it's slowly coming together. I don't think the chrome does as much on my car as on a black one though.

As far as my car goes: I plan on swapping the grille and just maybe the rear bumper to a MY14 one... sometime. I found the bumper on bildelsbasen (salvage yard site in Sweden) at 2600 kr (about $310) which at least doesn't feel unreasonably expensive given how much I think it'll add in looks.

Yeah itwontstopsnowing has his car lowered and he has the 19" Bor's on it and it is an older model. I still have the Regors on mine since the tires are in great shape still. I have my 18" Magni's in the attic. Wen these tires are toast, I will put on the Magni's. I kinda wish my tires were bad in a way so that I would be able to put the Magni's on, men man måste ju tänka lite ekonomiskt!

THOSE BORS.

Makes me want to throw these Heicos in the closet.

Older model, yes. Though as far as the body goes it is identical to your car, joakim. Tires and lowering springs excluded.

Out of curiosity, do you have tires for the magnis yet? I have 245/40-18 for my Venators and despite having the wheel alignment checked twice (was still a bit off after the first check) I feel like my car sort of... err, I think it's called tracking (spårar?). It's somewhat reluctant to go in a straight line if the road is the least bit uneven. An acquaintances XC70 running 235/55-17 goes in a straight line no matter what. I'm not sure if my tires are low profile enough to blame or if something else is messed up with the car. And as far as being economic goes, tell me about it. I'm in the process of buying studded winter tires (first car, first set of new tires) and I just learned a set of high-end ones cost just shy of $1100. Just the tires.

If you happen to have any more pics of your car though, or of the interior or anything, feel free to post those too. It has gotten me unusually worked up and that's without the magnis on.

The second one is not mine, but what it will look like. Yeah, I am going to get my car aligned when I put the tires on. Hoping it will be fine.

joakim! Could you please post some pics with the running lights on for the tail lights? Originally wanted to upgrade my 2012 with the new tail lights, but keep going back and forth.

Will do tonight. Makes a huge difference. One thing that should be done is also to add resistors when installing the 2014+ tail lights. I got great help from people on this forum on that. Works like a charm. You can install the lights without the resistors too, but that just throws a code thinking that one of the tail lights are out. I lived with it for a while before it annoyed me and I installed the resistors.

Does not look to good in these pics since it is dark, but anyway:

Hi all,

Would the below chrome strip fit on a 2010 2.5T with stock bumper?

Thanks!!

 

[joakim6945]

I am 99.9% sure it would
