Rear Spoiler on S60

Gen_Billy · Aug 19th, 2006, 02:04

What do you people think? Does it look good? Thinking of adding it on my S60 2.0T

Personally I think it ruins the smooth lines of the S60 unless there are other body modifications such as a kit, bigger wheels etc.

On the other hand, I think it complements the lines...I guess it's a matter of personal taste!

Actually I like it in that pic, very subtle!!

Hm... maybe the one I saw wasn't OEM or maybe it looks better on the newer cars.

I am not keen to be honest, looks like an after thought.

Don't like it myself either. I would much prefer a subtle spoiler like the 5 series bmw's have. Just a small lip.

Volvo themselves do a complete body kit for their S60, part of which is the boot spoiler that I presume Graham has on his car, and then there is the very subtle one on the current S60R, plus if you have a look on my site www.kalmar-union.com you will see another kit that can be bought in individual items.

Also a more effective one on my S60 'challenge' car.

Regards, Don.

Yeah that is far nicer. Though not to keen on the side skirts on the Kalmar Union kit. But that is a great spoiler.... now only if I can find a t5 in my budget...

It's the same spoiler (and wheels) as fitted to the S60 Sport and is the one that is part of the Volvo Bodykit. It's apparently not just cosmetic - IIRC Volvo advise you to buy the spoiler if you have the body kit (or is it just a sales ploy...?)

I like it, anyway.
