    Thanks

    Id stick to ones off XC70 and C70 cabby only...dont think the others fit..

    Think they are about £100 from stealers...seen a few go for £80 on thiefbay

    as far as I know they were only on the c70's and xc70's but if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct this. They are availible from volvo new for £130-140 or if you get lucky like someone I know its could be yours for a fiver ( jammy git I say). good luck finding one

    All phase 1 v70 s70 c70 use the same fitment grill so if you do happen to see one for sale off a v/s70 yes it will fit

    Excellent, a bargain too mate. Probably the best item you can buy to "facelift" the front end.

    Jayne loves her cars new look, I've never known her to clean it so many times, although in the pic's it hasn't been washed before taking them, but is still looking good.
