Isn't not that easy to find it in black....

If you tell me it's 8 euros, when I'll get it from volvo.

I'm just tired of spending a forune in small plastic parts when you can get some for peanuts in the scrap yards...

Usually, I try to make a stock of the diférent small plastic parts that you can easely brake.

If the GLT is still there and if you've planed to go and gets parts, I may ask you some specific plastic parts.

Tell me if it's possible for you.

Slipped on the snow / ice? Dude, you have some crappy luck! There was an amusing scene at the garage earlier involving an icy steep slope, and a certain silver 300 which was going nowhere fast...

Edit: Mk2 and Mk3 headlights are the same BTW...

cheers

LOL, correct!

It's the same. If you can find a clean one with no scratch or dent, it would be great.

I'll pay you all the expenses.

If someone is interested, there is a mk1 GLS in the scrapyard close to my place.

Very nice and only 180 000 kilometers......

For an unknown reason, they tend to crack on the rear edge, so at this age many are broken.
