Vovlo Bonnet Emblem/Hood Ornament

yragyrag90 · Jul 20th, 2015, 13:10

I used to have one, but it came off (stolen most likely).

This is a good pic of the original emblem.

I sprayed the one I bought to match the trim...

Just can't find one online anywhere and I'm a bit desperate.
I'm getting married in a month and I'm using the 240 as the wedding car. I really want to tie bows from the roof rack to the emblem.

If anyone has seen anything like it I'd love to hear about it.

Cheers.

I've never seen one of those, and never seen a bonnet with a hole indicating one was ever fitted.
It does look like an open invitation to nick it, and rather silly in my opinion.

Used to see them on a well known on-line auction site, never been tempted to buy one though !

I've not seen one before not my cup of tea but Volvos are for living no matter what your tastes are and certainly not the worse thing I've seen stuck to a Volvo a chap local to me has a 760 saloon covered in decals and a mustang grille badge glued to his bonnet, good luck in your quest and a great wedding car sir congrats for the big day when it comes.

Thanks for the help.

I know it's maybe not to everyone's taste. I thought it looked quite good.
It wasn't permanently mounted, so was probably even more theft bait. Lasted a few years though.

I've contacted the seller above, and I'm just hopeful.

Thanks.

Speaking obviously for myself. most things "done to" 240s are not to my exact taste! LOL That mascot did look neat. And as a temporary mounting point to decorate a 240 for a wedding? Go for it if you can!

Good luck finding a replacement. Please tell us the result of your search.

I wish you a lovely wedding and a good marriage.
