Just take them off they are only held on with one screw problem is your going to have lots of holes in your door then. :jaw:

IMHO and having done this on a couple of non-Volvo cars in the past, it will make the vehicle look stumpier. How about colour coded V70 ones? I think they should be a fairly simple swap? Also, having honed your paintwork to perfection filling all the holes, they will get dented to b@ggery in the first car park you stop in :shifty:

Heres one that I'm hoping to emulate in due course...

Yes, it needs the black strip on the bumper made body colour. But I'm an old f@rt, so will be sticking with the strips for now - although it does look pretty cool I must say: despite my reservations!

That 2nd picture looks awesome :B_thumb:

Just be careful mate, I seen a yellow T5R on ebay for sale which had been body coloured and tbh it was hideous.

I like the black rub strips, the 850's are a big lump and it breaks it up nicely.

However i still like that 2nd picture ;)

Have a look at the pics in my album.
I"ve got colour coded strips on my 850 t5.
