I have done, Interior inc map lights, reverse lights, side lights, foot well etc.

Just looks so much more modern with the LED number plate lights.

Next is the side lights and interiors.

Changed my old VOLVO letters on the boot lid, which were the small "close together" design, to the newer, spaced apart design. Also, changed my front grille from the old small badge to the big badge type.

Auxiliary and aircon belts changed. While I had the wheel off painted the calliper silver. Looks much better than the rusty brown colour.

Added a rubber seal to the top of the tail gate to prevent water ingress 😎

Ordered 4 new 18" Bridgestone A005 All Season Tyres (after seeing it snowing this morning). Will let you know what they are like next week.

Fitted a Bluespark CR Tech tuning box. The cheapest £79 one. Used a couple of these before with great results. They quote extra 30 bhp and torques and you can feel it but the best bit is the smooth low down power delivery.

The Bridgestone's are great too. Very quiet and grippy. Looking forward to a bit of snow for once.

Where did you buy the new (later grill type) with the larger iron badge?
Was it easy to do?

Yes, I followed this video:

I used these pry bars:

And I found my grille on eBay. I had a quick look, there’s one here:

NB: Always be cautious when buying from eBay, and make sure you buy a grill with clips that haven’t been broken when it was removed.

Changed the aux belt and aircon belt.
Tensioner a bit rough so swapped that out as well.
Hardest part? The aircon stretch belt. A thick piece of cardboard between the pulleys and the belt helped it slip on 😉.
Job done 👍👍
