Bodykit?

Post by Blade » 23 Aug 2004 07:36 pm

Hello!

I`m new on this forum.I come from Norway and i have a Volvo 360GL from 87 that i have been working many hours on, and still doing.
I havent found any bodykits for my hatchback anywhere yet.So i have been looking for a while, and i found out that there are some that actually have the original bodykit on this forum.

I am really interested in buying one if there are anyone left to buy?

Best Regards Fredrik

i'm afraid you're behind a long line mate - james is in the process of buying an entire 360, just to get the bodykit from it!

there was a shop listed on here that was selling new (non-origional) bodykits for volvo 300s thou, have a hunt

Hehe thought so.I didn`t think i was the only one who was eager to get my hands on one.

You mentioned a shop.It isn`t that one in sweden that were posted earlier in this forum?

I`ve looked there,but they`re out.

www.slamit.net Sells that same non-original bodykit for 300-series. Finnish company though.

upon closer inspection, thats a mk2 bodykit, not a mk3.

Ok.that`s the same stuff they sold in that swedish shop.
I actually dont like those bumpers that much,i like the original factory kit a lot better.

I`ve tried finding sites in the U.K and sent e-mail to many companies,but i seems like there are nothing left, and even worse.Many haven`t even heard of the bodykit.

all i can suggest is asking a dealer or a breaker. a dealer may be able to get one it but it'll be costly. why not make yer own?

I have actually thought about that too,but it wouldn`t look as nice as the original.I haven`t got the materials nor the knowledge to make such fine art :)

I`m depending on finding one instead,it just can`t be impossible to find one??
I won`t quit yet.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack, but give it a few months, and you may get a lucky break! Or failing that an expensive break...
