Hello everybody! I've had a Volvo s70 T5 as my first car for about 7 months now, and I'm looking for a few easy (and inexpensive) ways to personalize it! The first thing I'm starting off with is debadging it... I found a problem while working on the grille though. Once you remove the standard Volvo insignia with the diagonal line, there is an indent left on the grille of the square with the line running through it.

Since I'm going to be painting the grille black anyways, do you think anybody else will notice besides me? Or is this just bad practice and something you'd see on a your hombre's Civic? Keep in mind that I'm 16 and money doesn't come in for me too easily so I'm trying to make this beauty something more suitable for... Well, a 16 year old! Give me some ideas that you think would make this car more "sporty." (Trolls welcome, I get a kick out of the funny ones.)

I saw the aftermarket grilles on Car Accessories & Performance Parts For AUDI, BMW, VOLVO, Volkswagen - EuroSport Tuning, Canada & US but really? $110 for a piece of plastic with some mesh!? Are there any other aftermarket grilles available that you guys know of, and could I possibley make that style of mesh grille with my existing grille?
