Egg crate grill Vs standard Grill

[Dacvolvo]

Have you noticed a different in the running temp of your car with the egg-box grille, mine seems to be running cooler (however I suppose it could also be down to the lambda sensors probs I've had)

Hey Chris

Nope - the dash has always shown the needle as being sat bang in the middle of the the temperature gauge. No change whatsoever, Bud.

I wouldn't have thought there'd have been any change to be honest with you. Even if you were to remove the grill completely and drive around, I doubt that you'd see any difference in engine temperature as the grills are designed to allow air flow and not restrict it in anyway. Pity the same can't be said for the horns and their daft location directly in front of the grill...

The grill's purely for vain people (like myself) who think the newer styled grill is just a wee bit cooler looking. But interestingly, the missus prefers the older styled grill as there's much more chrome on it.

Must just be the cold weather then?

The grille looks good mate, as you know i have the mesh grille on my C70, i reckon they totally transform the front end.
