My new "sports" grille,what do you think?
 
Got it fitted today but im not sure if i like it!
This one has a chrome surround with black mesh,i thought chrome mesh would be too much but now im not sure:hissyfit:

Might need to move the horns.

I think it would look better with a badge like this but it doesnt quite fit.

Looks great, i would have it with the badge but fitting it may be more hassle than its worth.

I like it.

If you are set on a badge, would it be possible to cut off the "stripes" and just fit the Volvo logo in the centre of the grill somehow? That might look OK (but of course it would ruin the badge etc).

Seems a good idea, and you could get a spare badge from a breakers sometime..
Do what you like with is as you still have your original.. :)

I think it looks nice with or without the volvo slash.

I personally would put the slash on, but I just like it that way.

Where did you get it from?

Hi, Cut a small bit of each slash so that its even and keep the Volvo logo. I got mine sprayed black along with the 'R' logo. Tomorrow the horns are being moved in round the battery. I have a pic of my grille in the gallery.

Like the grill, looks great. Might look better without the chrome?
Leave the badge out and just put a small 'R' in the corner to keep 'em guessing!
