Not very Volvo like to have bits of plastic which disclour though.
However at least they are removable. All I need to do now is fond the paint code and try to track some paint down while most places are now closed..... |

Paint code should be on your VIN plate under the bonnet, usually a 3-digit but later cars had 5-digit codes, either way the first 3 digits are the paint colour code, the last two on later cars are the manufacturer and something else, can't remember what at the moment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400ML-Car...R/392383661475 Then order some of that to your code and get the free lacquer. You could try Hellfrauds instead butprobably not that much difference in price plus it's delivered to you.

Best way that i know of is to use a machine polisher and Meguiars 3-stage paint system. http://www.performancemotorcare.com/...on_System.html Various places to get it from, all have offers at various times. You can do it by hand but it's hard work!
