    Hide the Horns!

    Hi Guys and Gals, Woody here. Ive just had my 96 850R est auto back from a major operation by Hamish in Bromsgrove, its all sorted now, so I thought I'd treat it to a black mesh sports grill. Its fitting was easy but im left with 2 ugly horns nestling behind it!. Ive seen some of your top motors on the site and what Im getting to is, "Where have you stashed your Horns?". Cheers all. Woody.

    Quite a few people have relocated their horns to a bracket behind the o/s/f/ fog light, there is a bracket with two holes.

    I did this, however drowned them driving through an unavoidable flood so have had to get new ones from Volvo and have put them back behind the grille.

    DACVolvo has published a guide here: http://www.freewebs.com/dacvolvo/intercooler.htm


    Obviously people have relocated the horns without problems but just to let you know my experience wasnt that succesfull.

    Whereabouts in Lynn are you? Have family in Gayton.

    Good luck!
