This looks like he did some more work on the front after this picture was taken.

In this shot, it doesn't look too bad but then looking at the post above, I think he just got carried away.

Yes but you will never get a nova to look that good

Agreed! Theres only two different cars there though - and the jimmy hill one looked ok before. the one with the flip paint job looks awesome.

The trouble is that the kind of person who traditionally modifies a volvo has no taste - just check out some of the butchered looking 360s out there! and then there's the klingon...

I would love to see some tastefully modded cars - i actually think the 360 has a lot of potential. in a funny way i think its hard to mod an 850 - they look so good, and it would be hard to improve it without making it look bloody awful!

the shape of the newer curvier ones (old s/v70 etc included) lends it self better to styling mods. so lets see someone come up with a really smooth, subtle, but crazy looking s/v70! if that makes sense...!

cheers
