Lowered and exhaust hanger missing from a speed bump attack.
Still bumped when it was tight up though.
Side exit custom behind the wheel should give much better clearence. Roll on the summer. :D

Should be apparent whats lower by eye when you look under the car like. :?
You need to fix your exhaust then...

I rally mine on those tyres, and dont scrape anything unless I'm offroad.

Badger, you'll have to look under the car and see what is scraping tbh, Adam's right, it won't be the bolts as they go up and down with the wheel.
Haha this is true. It is probably the exhaust.. How do I make myself a side-exit? I have heard people just cut the backbox off and bend the pipe around, is it that simple?

Sorry for all the noobie questions btw, I'm new to the volvo scene haha!

Heres a pic of Robins 360.
I plan something a bit more subtle/impressive.
