Have both arms and wiper motors. Inchley has 1st pick on the grille. The grille size is the same on both the Phase 1 and 2 cars. I also have a rear spoiler for a V40 in black colour.

With regards to blades, you might be better off getting brand new ones for 0.99 including postage. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-850-...item231bc18b65

Or another trick I used before, was to remove the rubber bit and replace it with rubber from a standard windscreen wiper which I cut to the same length.

Cheapest wiper arms I could find on ebay were £20 + £3.50PP, so you can have them for £15

I am after £25 for the rear spoiler. Not sure how much it would cost you to get it resprayed. You could ask around before you buy it and find out how much it would cost you.

sounds great! i think ill leave the wiper arms, just after some cheapo ones or ill just remove the whole system... but the spoiler sounds great! would you let me know how much postage would cost? then send me paypal details and ill send over some monies?
Thanks alot!

I will take it out this weekend if that is ok with you. Or I may try to do it before that, but no guarantees. I think the best option might me Royal mail as it is super light. I will check RM as well as other couriers and find out the best price.

With regards to headlight wipers, my suggestion was always to rip them off and fit a bumper with no holes. I find them ugly, useless and they keep breaking down all the time. However, not I installed the Xenons, I am after a bumper with the holes pre cut and I will have to fit the wipers in order to make my lights legal.......

huh? so the wipers are a legal requirement? currently i have taken off the arms and blades and it doesnt look much better but i must agree with you! No real rush with the spoiler! just soon as it suits you

ill sure take it though so thankyou!!! let me know when you would like the money!
