I just sold my two

other cars. The 480 turbo and a 850 GLT to get a bigger family car.

This is what I got

A 1996 Volvo 850 R - the Italian version. It has a 2.0L T5 engine. Here is the outside look. No stock spoilers and R wheels. She has a 16" Mille Miglia EVO 5 Sport wheels. They do need a repaint. Aibast's 1996 Volvo 800-Series

The interior side is now stock R. Full leather seats, wood, all electric. I love the inside of this car. Is a bit worn, but still what to expect from a 13 year old car.

How did you put the R badge on the grill? Did you just glue it or fashion it into a clip sorta thing?

The little R embleme is from a T5R rear badge. One guy debadged his R in here and I got the lettering.
