Hi looking at replacing grille; seen the volvospeed page on how to do it and then still be able to open bonnet by adapting bonnet catch to run through mesh. Where can you get the adaptor kits from? And any tips? Thinking about a Heico black mesh grille or similar but any recommendations welcome cheers

I've fitted the V70 (p1) bonnet catch to mine, just had to file a couple of holes to locate it and made a longer rod to operate it, heres a copy from my project thread. http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?52153-Moles-T-5R-(Project-Olive) [COLOR=#333333]New mod just finished a couple of minutes ago, to compliment Pete's old grill is it's new v70 bonnet catch, no longer any need for the little rod poking through the mesh..[/COLOR] Image Image Image Image [COLOR=#333333]think a wash and a good polish should be next if the weather picks up a bit[/COLOR]

Brand new standard grill looks best followed by egg crate grill.

I'm also an advocate of the standard grill, the others don't look right to me.
