Just wondering if anyone might have any pictures (or an opinion) on whether my car would suit the egg crate grille and clear headlight modification. I have seen a few black and dark blue C70s with this and I think it looks really nice but I'm not 100% if it would suit the dark red of my car ?

What do you think - I have attached a photo...

Yeah i think i'm 99% decided too, there was a guide on how to do it all posted up a couple of weeks ago as well, as i presume you'll be installing the bits yourself ?

Hmmm, I've tried to use PS to colourize my vbgarage piccy with your car colour. Not sure I got it right, but it might give you a clue:

Edit: And I'm never doing it again. You have no idea how long it took to select the edges of the car bodywork!

And here's Azza's version. Silver is a completely different prospect to simulate, so it's not as good a job:

Wow, thanks Martin, that's excellent!

Gives me a good idea of what she'll look like, many thanks!

How much does everyone reckon then for the bits ?

I paid around £560, but that was discounted by those nice guys at Marshall. I'm not sure if their offer is still on.

Yeah i think it is, strangely though my local volvo dealer actually quoted me less, which is odd! I've got to double-check the part numbers with them just to make sure..

Did you ask for the indicator units too?

Azza

Yep, 2 x headlight units, 2 x indicator housing, and the eggbox grille.

Cool. I hope they got it right then. The car's gonna look great after it's done.

Yours is one of the few rag tops that I have seen without the updated look. It'll look reet spanky when it is done.

Yep that is indeed true, just the change in grille would make it look much nicer, but with the lights combined...ooooooOO!
