Sporty at the front, aggressive at the rear - so say the creators. Two front spoiler flaps add a dynamic character to the design. The high-quality front spoiler flaps, produced in flexible PU-RIM plastic, are installed over the original bumper skin and perfectly complement the design of the vehicle. The front spoiler flaps replace the original air intakes, which leaves open the opportunity to fit special fog lamps, which are a HEICO option.
An innovative novelty is the cornering light kit. This kit includes steering electronics and wiring which activate the cornering function of the supplied fog lamps. On the rear you can find two options - the twin outlet exhaust system with "left/right look" demonstrates the typical HEICO SPORTIV design with two oval exhaust tips (diameter 120x74mm). The tone and sound on this first system was purposely kept in check for those desiring a more mellow, less aggressive tone.
When choosing the 4-tip exhaust system, a summer drive becomes an open-air concert. Four round tailpipes (diameter 76mm) - moved a bit closer to the centreline of the car - are symbolic of power, and feature the characteristic 5-cylinder sound. The stainless steel exhaust - specially developed for the T5 - is offered including sound pipe and rear diffusor. The diffuser, made in PU-RIM material, optimizes the rear look and matches the 4 chrome tailpipes perfectly.
HEICO SPORTIV also offers their complete product portfolio for C70. Power upgrade (T5 from 220 to 250 hp, coming soon for D5 from 180 to 205 hp), sport air filter, limited slip differential, spacers, sport springs or full suspension kit, 4-piston sport brake system, VOLUTION® alloy wheels, and complete wheel/tire packages from 18" to 20" as well as several interior components are available now from Volvo dealerships or directly from HEICO SPORTIV.
