c70 headlights and grille

**the_player** · Wednesday 19th April 2006, 23:17

Just wondering if anyone might have any pictures (or an opinion) on whether my car would suit the egg crate grille and clear headlight modification. I have seen a few black and dark blue C70s with this and I think it looks really nice but I'm not 100% if it would suit the dark red of my car ?

What do you think - I have attached a photo...

Yeah i think i'm 99% decided too, there was a guide on how to do it all posted up a couple of weeks ago as well, as i presume you'll be installing the bits yourself ?

Hmmm, I've tried to use PS to colourize my vbgarage piccy with your car colour. Not sure I got it right, but it might give you a clue:

Edit: And I'm never doing it again. You have no idea how long it took to select the edges of the car bodywork!

Nice Mart, looks just like siamblue's when he actually posts some pics lol.

And here's Azza's version. Silver is a completely different prospect to simulate, so it's not as good a job:

Wow, thanks Martin, that's excellent!

Gives me a good idea of what she'll look like, many thanks!

Yeah - cheers for the pictures. Gives me a much better idea!

I need to get a decent photoshop type thing!!

How much does everyone reckon then for the bits ?

I paid around £560, but that was discounted by those nice guys at Marshall. I'm not sure if their offer is still on.

Yeah i think it is, strangely though my local volvo dealer actually quoted me less, which is odd! I've got to double-check the part numbers with them just to make sure..
