Just put new wiper blades on, its only about 10 pounds and any 70' that has them removed looks like a banger with bits missing.

I removed the wipes and motors whilst the bumper was removed to be painted on my 1999 v70r the holes and recess where filled and painted it personally prefer it with them off

headlights are glass, indicators are plastic

ive bought mine without the vipers off, but i put them back for the volvo look...i think my headlights look better and more classy with the black "eyeliner" under them... plus with the facelifted lights she looks gorgeous

mine starts on the left, and the right follows a second later, to not to obstruct the headlights at any given time, it looks weird, but pretty volvoish...

I agree, the wipers look classy imo.
