    Now if only we could find the cure for brittle plastic...i.e. time to find a new fuel door hinge.

    Nice Volvo ;)

    I 've owned 4 RWD volvo (740 x2-760-960)...

    I remember, I already tried to fit Draco mags on my 760, but impossible due to the front brake, have you done any modification on your car?

    Presently I have a 960 wagon as daily (my first volvo Wagon)

    regards...

    Thanks!

    Dracos should clear all RWD front brakes...I had a set of Dracos on my '90 760 turbo sedan a decade ago, bolted right up.

    These are Virgos from a 240 turbo and they will not clear the front brakes on cars with ABS without spacers/adapters. Mine are sitting on top of 30mm worth of adapter, hence why they work on the front. Supposedly you only need 5mm worth of spacer for them to clear the front. I have the adapters because I used to have a set of Tethys (FWD offset, from an S60 T5) on the car, and for the hell of it, I decided to see how the Virgos would look on the car. I liked it so much I decided to sell the Tethys.

    Great choice , your Wagon look great with the dracos

    I think my 760 was a GLE with PRV-6 (B280) and maybe the front brake was bigger than the other 700s, thats why I was anable to fit these wheels.

    look at my actual volvo wagon.

    Nice Volvos guys. Those S80 snowflakes look pretty good on your 960, Tanner.

    Those alloys look great on your wagon, Tanner. I assume those came off of a later-model V70?

    Those were more common on 03+ S80s. 99-02s usually had the bottlecaps, I rarely see one without them.

    Wonder if that has anything to do with the locale? I see tons more snowflakes than bottle caps roll into the shop here. (Work at a Volvo dealer). I hardly ever see bottlecaps, and I'm not suprised. Those things are U-G-L-Y :rofl:

    They are referred to as "uglies" on turbobricks.

    One guy, however, pulled them off magnificently on his 244. I don't quite know how he did it, but he managed to make it look good.
