I'm after the thing on the rear window... i'm not sure what they're called, not sure how rare they are, but if someone can point us in right direction, or if someone has one to sell? I like the retro look of it, cheers, darren

Hi Darren,

It is indeed a louvre. Stick word that in the search box and then read up on it. You'll find out about how rare or not they are, different types, fixing methods and how dosh they might cost

There's quite a few that like them round here. Not my bag though. I can understand the practical appeal of a snow cap though.

Hi mate.
Good luck with the search. However, you have probably got a better chance of
tripping over rocking horse shit than finding a cheap one.
Cheers Mark.

good luck dude i think most people on here are looking for one

Best of luck with the search Darren.

I have been looking for one for over a solid year.
As Mark said: " Rocking Horse Shit"

Be prepared to pay for one. If its a mk2 one it'l cost a small fortune, if its a mk3 one, be prepared to re-mortgage the house.

Just for example, i paid £180 for my mk2 one 6 months ago. The prices are going up and there only getting rarer as people are realising there value.

So does a tartan travel rug on the rear parcel shelf

it's looking like i'll have to try and make one... i can tell it'd be a bit of a ball ache though
i imagina if i can get decent enough at plastic welding it should be quite simple.. i'll update everyone in about 6 years haha

Here's a nice sober rear view of my GS, with it's standard equipment 3-piece spoiler. Nice clean (and brown) lines.

Here's the same type of car with louvre/bling overload.


I hope to god they didn't do side louvres for the 3 door Volvo 300 series....

Hi mate.
I think i prefare the bling one best
Love that rear bumper
Side louvres for a 300
Maybe someone could photo shop one on just to see what it would look like
Cheers Mark.

Definite "BLING OVERLOAD"....WOW!

John

Jesus, that car will tip up if it gets any more on the back!
