Off..

Just my opinion but I think they look a lot better without, with those lights.

Hi thanks for your input i am starting to think it does look better without.

i say with them, once there painted up & the holes filled in the wiper panels it'll look totally different to the mock-up pics

If the 'brows were painted it might look better, but I think there is a slippery slope from subtle modification to a bolt-on goody-fest and a car ends up looking like a machine that ram-raided the furry-dice aisle in Halfords. I suppose you can play around with them. But I have said it before, and I will say it again, those angel-eye headlights do look nice - hark back to much older Volvos. One thing I would suggest though (I'm a bore on this one) that your grill needs a badge and slash.
But hey, go with what makes you feel good when you drive it! I mean, most people I count as friends, take a very humourous view of my love of Volvos - but my 850s make me happy: so I don't give a tom-tit!
Drive your Volvo with pride!!!

Sorry, London thing - rhyming-slang really - and avoids upsetting the innocent. Think of the expression 'I don't give a s**t' and fill in the missing word and you will note it rhymes with tom-tit. You know the sort of thing - to have a 'butchers' = butchers-hook = look. Always rhyme off the second word and you will see how it works. As follows: to have a Barclays Bank, that geezer is a Berkshire hunt (usually just berk), cheeky little fillet of cod, I need a pony and trap, etc, etc, etc. Work them out as a Sunday evening entertainment!

Hi still a bit undecided, think that i will get the holes from the headlight wipers filled and painted and maybe the eyebrows while i am at it, then i will have a look at fitting them again.
