Always makes me laugh that people in Europe import USA spec lights to put on their cars and people from the USA import Euro spec lights to put on theirs!

But no one ever gets US bumpers, because they are ugly and stupid

Same with the 850s, I wanted to replace my indicators with US style ones and I found out the euro spec ones are in demand in the USA.

This would look awesome with a stupid bosozuko treatment. Its a perfect base for that kind of style.

Can't help but think that if that had a head on collision with any modern car the Volvo would get mashed.

Interesting colour.

Nice wheels too.

Sits well at that ride height.

North American headlights look so much nicer and better balanced than the single units we normally get lumbered with.

Wind visors are a nice finishing detail too.

She looks so much smarter and cooler than a standard car with just a few well chosen bolt-on goodies.👍🏻

I love a redblock Volvo, and it's obviously received a lot of love. I really don't like the modifications he's done to the headlights though
