Heico home page

In the thread about aluminium triim rings the Heico company is mentioned. This is NOT Heico Aerospace USA. It is Heico Sportiv of Germany with a big presence in Japan. Having looked at both the Heico Japan (http://www.heico.co.jp/) and Heico Germany (http://www.heicosportiv.de/) all I can say is WOW! http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Now I really, really wish I had bought a silver V70 rather than my metallic blue VOR XC ... http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif (Check out the Japanese home page and you will see what I mean.)

Or here's a link to their picture gallery (http://www.heicosportiv.de/mainframe.asp?lang=gb&e1=391) on the German site.

Although they already have performance stuff available for the XC90 there doesn't seem to be a lot of stuff specifically for the V70XC / XC70. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

IPD is now the official U.S. distributor for Heico Sportiv. Great news for anyone interested in acquiring Heico accessories for their cars. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The only Heico product I found on the IPD site was the trim rings, although I admit that there could be others not listed specifically as "Heico".

On the whole I find the IPD site rather frustrating because a) there seems to be little of relevance to the V70XC, b) its not clear whether V70 items are also suitable for the XC and c) their custom catalogue facility doesn't seem to do much.

I'd like to buy, but sending things back from Australia could work out expensive....

Hey Ron,

I agree with you. I tried browsing throught the site and it is very frustrating. Also it seems very difficult to find anyone in oz who actually stocks aftermarket volvo parts. Which part of Australia are you from actually?
