To me it looks kind of unfinished , something not quite right but cant put my finger on it :-) It's not just the missing headlamp wipers ...
There are quite a lot of new cars emerging now looking " unfinished" like the Citroen C1 for example ...

Afraid I'm no big fan of replacement grilles, like the poster above it makes me feel the car is unfinished as I'm so used to seeing the Volvo badge and slash.

However, it is fairly discreet and not too boy-racerish, I'll give you that!

^^^^^ it may be that were the wipers are now no longer there, the gap between the headlamps and the bumper looks bigger than it needs to be.

personally i like it, i have a real thing for the smooth, minimalist look on a car.

good effort mate.
