You should remove your foglight grilles and replace them with the 05> versions. They will look much better mate.

Where did you get the lower IC grille from?

I've seen the fog lamp grilles that are open - are these the ones? I agree, they do look better.

The plastic grille is from eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ABS-Mesh-9...item338aa1feca

It's not particularly strong like an OE grille but it looks ok and serves it's purpose of keeping leaves out etc lol

Thanks for the link Stephen....I've just bought some!

regards the fog light grilles..you never actually posted any! However, you will need to order these from Volvo

Grille - 30678050 - retail £26.60
Grille - 30678049 - retail £26.60, both items plus Vat.

Watch of for those speed humps and ground clearances in multi-storeys

Also, I wonder is they can make standard steering wheels a "bit more chunkey" like the sports ones????

**stephenevans99** · Wednesday 27th August 2014, 12:13

I'm dreading the time I hear and feel the first scrrrraaaappppe

I believe they can make your steering wheel thicker/chunkier and also add the thumb rests too if needed.

And your thinking of selling your car after all this work, love and attention

**stephenevans99** · Wednesday 27th August 2014, 15:03

All bits I can remove and sell on....so not a complete loss fortunately.

Both of the above when I spoke to Jami. Quoted just £10 extra for building up my rim if i wanted it

Really makes you feel like you're in a new car doesn't it.

Same for the Elan wheel will be a prezzie to myself for Christmas.

It's quite funny how it actually does make it feel like a new car....lol

It's a nice subtle upgrade which is well worth the £120 I reckon.

They did a cracking job with mine, just how I wanted it.

Sure can, Jack has done two wheels for me now. My current one has extra padding, perforated leather sides, alcantara top and bottom and the M tri colour stitching.

Original on left, new on right

All fitted

Did you get a second wheel to send him Mike? So your not off the road.

If so, have you still got your original?

**Dream3r** · Monday 1st September 2014, 18:59

I'll have to get this done sometime. Top work.

He already had a wheel which he made to my spec, so I just paid for that and a surcharge and then returned my original wheel when I fitted the new one and got the surcharge refunded. He doesn't always have a donor wheel, so you may be without the use of your car for a few days. No biggie for you as you have so many others to use lol.
