Mesh Grill Yes or No??

[Jamest5r]

This came up by chance today cheap so i thought i would give it a go, always tried to keep mine original on looks (ish) so i can't decide if it's too chav for me (im 38!!).

If i do keep it i will move the horns!!

Doesn't do anything for me. Original grill sprayed black is the one i would go for.

Mmmmm i cant honestly decide after seeing your lovely car in the flesh last week, i would be more swayed to say i preferred it as it was. But after all it's your choice mate.

I love it mate. I have the same on mine and dont think its chav ! I still have the original in the shed just in case !
But I like it I think it looks better on a dark colour car like yours an mine. Keep it buddy......... :thewave::beer::bow_kneel:worship::Handshake:B_thu mb::B_thumb::B_thumb::B_thumb::B_thumb::B_thumb::B _thumb:

Interesting idea.

works well to phil

Well, It needs a slash and a badge - see mine.

Is it Chav? What is Chav? I have always found the Ian Dury and The Blockheads signature song 'Blockheads' a comforting explanation:


You must have seen parties of Blockheads
With blotched and lagered skin
Blockheads with food particles in their teeth
What a horrible state they're in

They've got womanly breasts under pale mauve vests
Shoes like dead pigs' noses
Cornflake packet jacket, catalogue trousers
A mouth what never closes

You must have seen Blockheads in raucous teams
Dressed up after work
Who screw their poor old Eileens
Get sloshed and go berserk

Rotary accessory watches
Hire-purchase signet rings
A beauty to the bully boys
No lonely vestige clings

Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Why shouldn't they do as they please?
You know if it came to a brainy game
You could baffle a Blockhead with ease

How would you like one puffing and blowing in your ear-hole?
Or pissing in your swimming pool?

Bigger brained Blockheads often acquire
Black and orange cars
Premature ejaculation drivers
Their soft-top's got roll-bars

'Fill her up,' they say to Blockheads
'Go on, stick it where it hurts'
Their shapeless haircuts don't enhance
Their ghastly patterned shirts

Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Superior as you are
You're thoughtful and kind with a well-stocked mind
A Blockhead can't think very far

Imagine finding one in your laundry basket
Banging nails in your big black dog

Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Why should you care what they do?
Cos after all is said and done
You're a Blockhead too

WE ARE ALL CHAVS In particular if you drive a black or orange car - or your soft top has roll-bars...

I think it may be a 5 skinner too :crazy:

I'd go for the mesh but find something to fill the whole, so to speak. Maybe put the slash back on. Or get some other Volvo badge and pop it in the corner.
I personally think the fogs behind the grille cheapen the look. Maybe it would work if you darkened the glass/lense? JMHO.

[Mrs_PA]

I'm not so keen on the mesh, but if you like it, go for it. I can always chuck potatoes as you pass and turn them into french fries! :)

I think adding the slash & badge over the mesh would produce a factory fitted look and be quite interesting. It might draw the eye away from the horns too? Other than that, I'd agree that painting the original plastic grille would be good (and provide more protection ?)

Just my tuppence worth, and its all down to personal taste - whatever you prefer is what you should do ;)

Regarding chavs, its an awkward thing to define isn't it?! We all hate those Corsas full of hyper active monkeys with the bass blasting out, but equally most of us have probably considered rear privacy glass of varying darkness, lowered ride height, different exhausts, nice alloys... so what is 'chaviness' to one person may not be to the next - they might call it 'customising' if they're of my generation! :D

[AndysR]

Not really my cup of tea but as mentioned adding the slash may well improve it and give it a more factory look :)

[T5 ROB]

I like it, but then i would because its the same as mine.

[Cubes]

Click on the photo of mine (above). You can still see the horns but not as much. Like Rolling thunder said, the slash detracts from them somewhat. Plus, I was kneeling right infront of the car and had the flash on!

[Jamest5r]

Just a quick job to see what it would look like, still can't make my mind up!!!

[sen]

I think it looks alot better with the slash in it james

[850 Skye]

HI i think it look good with the slash. go for that and move those horns.

[AndysR]

Looks 100 times better with the slash, if your going to keep it you will need to relocate the horns :)

[Jamest5r]

Thanks for all your comments lads, :B_thumb:think im going to go for the volvo slash just looks better, a little trip to Nads aladin's cave to find one in top nick and fit it properly job done.
