Aero Kits for the 9-5 SportCombi Posted by BadgerBuddha [Email] (#2199) [Profile/Gallery] (more from BadgerBuddha) on Sun, 16 Jul 2017 18:11:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hey guys, I'm new to Saabs and Saabnet, and I'm happy to be here! I bought a 2007 9-5 SportCombi to replace my Nissan Versa Note after a bad crash on the interstate in the rain. I got a good deal on it because it had 163k miles on it and while the interior was in great shape, mechanically it needed some work.
I'm about half way through getting the car mechanically sound again (just did the trans mount, all the vacuum hose, and some of the radiator piping; and got the airbag recall taken care of at a local Saab authorized service center; only really the rear engine mount, fuel pump, and muffler left to go!), and now it's time to start making the car into what I want it to be.
Another downside to it's high mileage is that about 130k of those miles lived in New Hampshire, which means salt, ice, and gravel (it has the OEM tow hitch and bike rack, so these were clearly active individuals). The bumpers are a bit scuffed up along the bottom (especially the front bumper), and I want to give the wagon a bit more of the sporting look it deserves to have. I know Maptun makes some small spoilers to mount on top of the car, but I'm open to any and all suggestions as to bumpers/lips/spoilers/etc that are available, regardless of whether or not it's a Saab part.
Thanks in advance for any help on this, and I'm excited to be an active member of this community!
