Rob LesM(@Ex850R) said: So that plastic bit may have not only dampened the initial takeoff to stop wheelspin but also with a bit of airflow , helped it open? Quite possible. Although the standard turbo one has no plastic either, despite it being smaller I would have expected the same effect.
Ex850R Interesting. I must get pix of aluminium trim , Ash should have first dibs , he did want first but he has some though.
Ex850R They do have a couple of dings I think where they caught them whilst polishing them......I should have , if I swing it , another set , not sure condition , should be fine .
Rob Either way. once you have determined what(or if) you have to sell let me know and I will take a look. I was also seriously considering having all of the wood carbon fiber wrapped. might be ok/ might be too drift car. dunno
Ex850R Mmmmm. Could look ok if its real. I like ,who was it? Idea for piano black. That could be applied to the grey bit underneath. That's what my V has , poverty grey!!
Rob This one perhaps? http://ozvolvo.org/discussion/426/gumtree-v70r-1000#Item_3 Don't go buying it without talking to Les
AshDVS Ah, I thought we were talking about a different one. Not much in that one of interest to me and, more importantly, I knew Les had his eye on it.
Ex850R Glad it came in one ! Globe a bit knackerd but...Dont mind the black grille, i kept the outer rim on my Silver T5 chrome , maybe its why i grew out of it... Am still trying to find notes on that wrecker who had aN XC70 for wreck with good grille. Hope i didnt throw it out but my office is a paper storm with all the shit i have been going through .... Will see what i can do.
Rob Ash(@AshDVS) said: Black grille looks excellent! I really think it does. I was fearful it would look awful, glad I did it. Have almost talked myself out of pursuing an XC Grille.
Ex850R Have a look at PFS UK they have many variations of the small and large gapped egg crate grille that are chrome/black etc etc this will give you an idea of what's possible.
Rob Auto out. :D Definitely more difficult to remove an auto than a manual box, but still quite simple, took me about 2 hours by myself.
