If you want to save weight which must have been in the design brief given how much trouble was gone to in every other aspect of the car a good thing to get rid of is the glass in the headlights. Probably cheaper to produce as well given the shape of the XC90 lights. Lovely car though the 240 is, flat headlights wouldn't look so good on a 2003 car. I repaced all the lights, back and front, after about 15 years on all my previous Volvos, because of deterioration of the reflectors inside, not the outside part which was still acceptable. AB-UK....It could be the plastic is softer when hot in that area and is getting the scratches from stones bouncing off them. I don't know how fast you drive or how close to other vehicles but all the high milage cars I've seen have a shot blasted appearance if you look very closely at the front and windscreen. Take a close look at your windscreen and see how many tiny marks are on it. All the best. Roy
