360 Body kit

Post by hatch360 » 17 Jun 2006 10:34 am

Hello there is a sports body kit for the 360 for sale on ebay but I was wondering what the difference is as the front looks similar and the rear looks small. Also how do you mount it?
the link is

the link doesnt work :evil: but if you go to ebay.com.au and search volvo 360 it should come up :wink:

thanks[/img]

Thats not an origianl volvo kit so by the looks of it, it replaces the complete bumpers. Could use the bumper mounts??

It looks like it has been modeled from a 240 front end, which is another Volvo that i love so yes!! I have the factory front valance which i really like the look of.

You are right i cant believe i didnt notice that since we also have a 244glt and you are right it looks very similar but now i am wondering whether it has room for the foglights.

And do you thnk that since it replaces the bumper that means that the plastic parts of the original bumper is removed. also i am not sure whether the rear bumper will make any difference besides not having the black plastic?

I sent them a e-mail but they are closed until tommorrow i might go and take a look at it :D

I think it is that kit! It's the 'Haas tuning kit' from germany.

That is even more rare then the normal body kit...

I have never seen an actual car with Haas kit. http://koti.mbnet.fi/mtn/images/volvo/300srj/haas.JPG

realcar.se and slamit.net sold those K1 Replicas some time ago but now they aren't available anymore.

I was going to say Theis...beat me to it :)

The rear looks horrible, but the rest is ok, in a kinda 80s-tastic kinda way.

It's damn cheap and very rare, so I'd definitely buy it....even if just to try it out.

cheers

I took a look at it at the shop but decided not 2 get it. the kit had no mounting, it was kinda scratched on the side and the guy didnt know much about it and since i dont have that much cash it would be stupid to just let it sit in the garage for $80. I rather by wheels 1st.

If it doesn't sell, you should make him an offer and sell it on to someone who does want it. It'd be a shame to see it be thrown out. You might even make a few dollars into the deal. Finding a buyer shouldn't be hard, especially if you're willing to ship it overseas (a PITA, I know...).

$80 is about £30 IIRC...pocket money for a new bodykit, even an ugly one sm56
