Just wondering... how did you paint your grille? I krylon fusioned mine w/ about 5 coats and its really getting chipped up. I might just go with the ipd grille but I don't really want to spend the $100 on it.

[maiku]

took the sash off
masked
sprayed the fusion on
leaved it on for 15 minutes
sprayed another coat
left it off for the night
put it back on the car

took it off in two weeks
gave it another coat
leave it on for 15 minutes
spray another coat
leave it on for 30 minutes
put it back onto the car

rinse and repeat as desired

how'd you mount your fron licence plate! that looks trick, the cops give you any hassle over it?

I did the same before i took mine off. it sits under nicely but used thin wire to secure mine.

[maiku]

there is a small hole right behind the front bumper
i DRILLED a whole (yes DRILLED)
then i BENT my license plate (yes, BENT)
and i BOLTED it onto the hole

and i got stopped by a cop the other day for failing to slow down at a stop sigh (nice guy gave me a warning)
cop took a gander at the car for a little bit, then shrugged it off

being a volvo is cool!

pics? I have that stupid bracket that holds it on in the front of the bumper, if I moved it to where this guy has his, I'd be left with holes in the bumper... wait.... Hmm.... I guess I'd just have to get an R bumper... perfect...

[maiku]

yeah
there are the holes there and those sort of piss me off
but i'm planning to get a front license plate that says VOLVO on it

[FINN]

I have the two holes as well.....they arent noticeable.

And as for having to bend teh plate and such, i guess having an R bumper is different.

ya the 854's and the S70's are so similar in some ways.... If you buy V70R bumper is doens't come with the plate mounting hardware, so if I did that, I would need to come up with a different way of mounting it, which is why I was asking how he did it in the pics on this thread.

just make ur car faster then cops arnt a problem

[T5RacerV]

whered you get that spoiler? mines all cracked and faded and i need a new one

[maiku]

i got it from Will and got it repainted by a local guy
i took out the centre piece and had it filled it

[Mesoam]
