    S/V70 Grille

    Need some suggestions as to what to do with my grille - I really dont like the shiney, pansie type thing thats happening at the moment with the standard grille, its just doesn't look quite right....

    Any ideas?

    Got a new grille the other day from parts for volvos on line, you know the one, chrome round the outside and black mesh in the middle.
    The wife hates it. and to be honest i'm not sure.
    I'll give it a few weeks to see if it grows on me, then i'll probably clean the orignal one up and stick that back on.
