Are these easy to remove?

I want them off, I think they make the car old looking...

cheers Si

unbolt/remove the arm, the panel under the headlight is only clipped into place trying to pull it straight forward. Then you'll see either 2 or 3 bolts around the wiper spindle these are holding the motor & mechanism into place, they come out from in the engine bay (it is a tight squeeze because of everything around). Unplug the wiring & disconnect the water pipework. You can get new panels from Volvo without the holes for the wipers

got an 854 myself, but sure the pipe normally breaks at the hinge or do remember something about a joint under the boot floor that comes undone
