Yes there are the ram bumpers. Can someone post a link to ebay our what these non impact bumpers look like? Thanks.
I'm not sure on the alloys , liking the 17" gunmetal dished multispoked, look. (But also have some 15" gold retro ones I may try) Any idea what offset (ET) I should be aiming for to give flush with arches look?

No idea on what will work springs wise. Impressed that you’re not just going for the angle grinder though.
If you google 164 or 144 you’ll see cars with similar bumpers to yours and much slimmer ones. They’re pre impact and they won’t fit, the sheet metalwork behind the bumper is different. You could leave the bumpers at the same physical depth but slim them down so they’re tighter to the body and don’t have as much overhang, thus making the car shorter. You’ll need to do this yourself, I’d be amazed if you could buy anything. It’s possible and has been done on similar cars to give a factory look but with a subtle twist; but you’ll either need the skills to do it or deep pockets.
If you like multispokes (and who doesn’t) I guess you’re looking for something like a 240 Torslander rim, but a bigger diameter. I’ve seen a few pics of Volvo’s at Players etc which are properly stanced as the young folks would say; not sure what they’re running but google is your friend here. Re what width rim and offset do I need to fill the arches and then what width and aspect ratio tyre won’t be shredded by the arches, get a tape measure and look at willtheyfit.com
And get some pics up please!
