    Hello,
    I am just in the process of buying a volvo v50, black in colour.
    I have seen the r spec kit on some more expensive ones. Would anyone know know difficult/costly to supply and fit the same kit onto one that doesn't have it. The kit is the side skirting and the low front spoiler.
    Done a few searchs for it on the web but can't find any information. Haven't rang a dealership yet.
    Cheers for any info.

    Dealer is probably the best bet. Have you looked at these guys?

    Think the Volvo R kit was fitted from the factory only.

    You'd hav to go the spurious route, which never looks the same IMO.

    Sounds about right for an OEM kit supplied, painted and fitted if you ask me.

    Buying a car with the kit already fitted is the way to go. Chances are its from the factory, so the paint work will be much better. I've seen OEM kits fitted to cars in dealerships and the paintwork is never as good no matter how good the bodyshop is. The paint will never be as hard as the factory job, so the kit is prone to chips (particularly the front end).
