Alloys look good mick!!! As does the snow cap!! (But i already knew that!!

) Not too sure about all the graphics, as i prefer clean, minimalist styling but its all down to personal taste!! All you need now is that grill!!!

Cheers Adam

Mick, the alloys look great. They do indeed suit the car nicely. As Foggy says it sits at a nice height for them. The whole car looks very nice from the square side on view. Snow cap is looking good! I'd actually quite like one now!

Is it me or has a nasty dent appeared in the n/s rear door since I last saw it?

T-t-t-t-t Pete! You didn't look carefully to the picture gallery

It was there when the car was on Ebay

LOL, didn't realise the picture gallery was ok again! LOL, good work Aymat! Hmm, it has never grabbed my eye when I've seen the car.

If you want my opinion than I like the car better on the Picture from Ebay. I mean the picture posted bij Duvel 78. I would remove the front wing stickers they are a little overdone, the minimalistic approach I also like better.

And also I would remove the spot lights placed on the front bumper. I can not untherstand why people place spot light above their bumpers the do not fit the styling of the car. That is my personal opinion, but everyone must be free to change their cars the way they like. The fog lights fitted in the spoiler unther the front bumper is oke.

But still this redline is a very beatiful en desirable car.

Old 300 healights are sh*t!!

I actually disagree on the lights - I'm the other way around! I think the round spotlights look good (it's one of those things that works better in the flesh than in pictures), but the fogs don't work so well. Rememer Volvo offered spotlights up there, albeit uglier square ones!

Anyway, we've got a long way from the alloys....And they look great! Any thoughts on whether or not you'll be painting the inner section Mick?

cheers

They alloys definitely make the car look better, I also think the spots look good - and sure to aid far better visibility at night.

I think painting the inner part of the rims black would look good.. as it will tie in with the silver/black parts of the car. The black inner/silver rim tends to work better on lighter colour cars.

Plus.. snowcap...

Looks good Mick!
Black inner rim parts, black sills and it is perfect!
The stickers look a bit messy... It would be quite an improvement if they would all be the same font.

Lovely car!

to be honest the pics dont do the graphics justice , they are copies of the original volvo ones and look better in the flesh (honest ) I thought with special no longer having a 300 someone needed to "dare to be different " and I thought these were better than the advertising stacks on the front doors of some cars ( and a bit tongue in cheek ) the sills will be painted black and then I will decide on the wheel centres

Would you like a photoshop of the blacked rims?

Incidentally, if anyone wants any redline parts, there's a black one in my local scrap yard.

cheers

Something like this? I reckon it looks pretty good...
