"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Hows that for fence sitting?

its the factory look all the way for me !!

The factory look dissapeared before I got the car!

Yeah, what ever you think looks better. I personally prefer the De badge Look, ive a similar Grille, check me pic out on my Profile.

I've just returned home to find that some oik has removed my S70's R badge from the boot, leaving only the sticky foam.
I have to count myself lucky that the pillock didn't scratch the paintwork, but that has not stopped the flow of naughty words spilling out of my mouth.

I assume this was probably someone who'd like to dress up their normal Volvo as an R.
One may expect this kind of behavior from your average hot-hatch owning boy racer, but sadly my faith in the Volvo community has taken a serious dent.

Bad times - Humph!

Sadly these 'oiks' are everywhere. Im also a keen VW owner, and you wouldn't believe the parts that get stolen off these. We have to use security screws to fit light lenses, mirrors and grilles.

"Theives will allways be Theives" its in the blood.Someone once stole one wheel off my Wifes little Suzuki parked 5 yards from my front door,i'm shure it was kids doing it for kudo's from their similarly mindless mates.I ask you who would have thought you needed to put locking wheel nuts on steel wheels.
