A reason , why NT has no CAR/AUTOMOTIVE thread , is because nobody is really interested in a CAR,
Other then the way it look's.
And because we only have post about it.

You mean R-Design, right? Volvos are great, underrated cars. But if you want to save a few dollars, look into the C30 R-Design. It doesn'tcome AWD though.

Nope. Most Volvo models are offered in AWD

yeah i want to swap wheels, but i can't until i get new tires for them. i actually got these bullitt wheels off craigslist for $125

but thestock bullitt wheels on my dad's bullitt are still there.

How much would this be quoted to fix at a body shop?

Filling in, sanding down, and painted. On another forum, I got around $250. Sound correct?

 

[mjbetch]

^ my 97 es bumper was pierced by a license plate bolt.. it was ONE little piercing in my bumper... cost the lady $580 hahaha. they had to sand, and repaint thewhole bumper. it was the rear bumper though.

the price is mainly in regards to the labor for the sanding and painting.

My guess is between 350 to 600, depending on where you take it.

Damn, if it gets anywhere past 6, I might as well try a DIY and just get the whole damn car painted.

Lol that'll cost an even prettier penny. Cream on the inside, clean on the outside tho...remember that.

anything around 6 would be a very well established Lexus dealer though.

something around 250 would be a poor chop shop imo

search body shops in your area and make several phone call for price quotes though they'll probably have you drive there for a quote.
