I'd try IPD or Euro sport tuning: Volvo S70 V70 Performance Parts | Volvo Performance - EuroSport Tuning, Canada & US

I haven't seen any for the first generation of the V70 though.

Here's a link to where they have fiberglass bodykits for an 850: Extreme Dimensions Body Kits for Volvo 850 1993-1997 - DuraFlex Fiberglass Body Kit
Not sure if it would fit the v70, but I know it was built off of the 850 so it might...

1. What is your budget?

2. What is your Hp goal?

3. Are you more interested in exterior mods, interior mods, suspension mods or engine mods?

All of this will help us help you.

In reality there really is no "body kits" available readily on the U.S. market. Unless your willing to translate another language and pay extreme fees to have them imported. Realcar has one for you if your interested.

Also the 850 body kit will fit. However your going to have to change the front quarter panels and the headleats to 850 front quarter panels and headlights. It isn't a simple slap on job. Also that kit has been out of production for years. You may be lucky to find one in stock somewhere.

Your best bet is getting a 1998 V70R front bumper. And then getting the front lip from an aftermarket company to go under it.

As for foglights try IPD USA, EUROSPORTTUNING, FCP Groton...

A dump valve is a blow off valve and NO YOU CANNOT ADD THIS TO A NON TURBOED CAR. Sorry just can't do it.
