Looks tons better with the spoiler mate and im a big fan of the mooses, i have 4

Spoiler looks good - bit lacking without IMHO, grill looks good as well, must do mine. As for the stickers - got two myself (magnetic ones, though will probably get the sticky ones at some point as I'm worried some chav will nick them and they'll end up on a Saxocorsa thing.)

Nice colour btw

Car's looking good mate. The grille looks miles better. Have you lacquered it or anything to prevent it being chipped by stones etc?

I personally havnt lacquered it although ill await jonno's response to find out if he did

[jonno12]

i did but theres a secret in in it mate and it wont stone chip

if anyone else wants the grill done its £25 including postage

Looks very good with the spoiler and the grille is different and subtle at the same time Not to sure on the moose badges but thats a personal preference otherwise very nice overall

[The Flying Moose]

i guaruate how ever u spell it for 3 months againts stonechipps if it flakes ill paint it again for nothing but ya car does look good so i thought id add the gauratee

Cheers mate appreciated. Although to be honest it hasnt chipped yet and early days are usually when they do I find.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm still deciding on the mooses too. Subtle but different is what I was trying to achieve as to me its what a T5 is all about. I also think as mad as it may sound but the black grill makes it look newer

hopefully not for top much longer lol

If you sell it you could probably get a decent 850 again, saw a 855 T5 in A1 con in flame red on autotrader for £695.... possibilities are endless!

You might be right perhaps because there is less chrome on the car, usually associated with older cars, I wonder why they did the full chrome grille on the V70 but the egg crate one on the S60? I wonder if they are interchangeable?

I wondered that aswell makes no sense the grills being different, at first I though perhaps the SE Lux (like mine) would be chrome and the SE Sport black but no not the case. The S60 and V70 grills are not interchangeable either its a slightly different size which seems stupid. Oh and the xc70 grill doesnt fit either. Still its a unique black slated grill although eggcrate would have been better

Sounds like sod's law but tbh what you have done is different and by no means a bad mod as it doesn't look out of place, I like it

[The Flying Moose]
