BTW I had PFV whizzy headlamps.

What I did with my V70 radiator grille - (when I had it)

Well... I got a spare, did it, then swapped them over.

What I did...

I got a bog standard V70 shiny chrome umpteen vertical bar grille with the standard 'slash and badge' and worked on it indoors:

* carefully removed the 'slash' and Volvo logo (well, everything was done carefully!). It does come off.
* rubbed down those vertical bars with fine wet-and-dry
* with araldite (or proper filler) 'levelled' the indentations where the old badge and slash was
* smoothed and keyed the vertical bars
* spayed them with satin black - but left the 'chrome' surround
* 'obtained' a 'spare' set of VOLVO letters (actually, the ones off my tailgate in my case!) and cleaned out the old sticky stuff in the hollow backing
* got some of those double-sided sticky pad thingies that they use for sticking "VOLVO" letters on to tailgates/boots and such similar tasks and filled the back of the letters
* tailored and then stuck the letters towards the top right-hand side of the radiator grille in a position that pleased me (and various others!)
* Ta-da

Sorry I ain't got a piccy of it any more... 'twas quite a while ago.
