For some reason I actually like the look of your Volvo lip now. And your wheel choice is just perfect.

I was thinking of removing the spoiler on my 88' TurboII and you Just made up my mind. Definitely looks cleaner without it.

Now just imagine this exact car in pearl white with some 15" Rota gt3's in gunmetal or black with a polished lip. Then a diffuser and a different lip and it's the perfect stock bodied Fc.
