look at this catalog: http://www.volvo300mania.com/access89a.htm

page 6, item nr. 4

what`s it called in english and would someone like to buy it?

In norwegian it`s called "laksetrapp" (salmon stairs)

In the UK we call them louvers, and they are sought after! Not really my style but you'll have lots of people on here trying to bite your hand off to buy them from you

Ronnies correct the rear window louvre is even rarer than the famous snowcap ,

I have only ever seen one in the uk on an older 343,

if you can get one complete with all the clips you should have no problem selling it over here

just to remind members here of a long running joke its not a loafer

or a loofer

but a louvre

LOL

i do have all the clips! i got at a scrapyard, while removing a rubber spoiler from a old "sting"

the louvre came with my first 360 i bought without clips..
i belive it was a gl with gle accesory

it had foglights and a gearshift indicator!!

i`ll upload som pics when i get home from school

I'd love one of these for a Mk2...

There's a Mk1 343 near me with a lourve fitted. I'd like one but am resigned to the fact that I'm more likely to come across rocking horse poo...

i have actually seen a couple around..

on varius sting and spirit models
do you have those in the uk?

the last owner had changed the backdoor to a spirit type..
maybe it came with that?

i guess i would be sweeter with some paint, it`s getting kind of faded

sprint and sting are limited edition 360`s just like all the others with a bk200k

exs: 44/200

atleast on the sting

Certain items are more popular in some markets, so 'redistributing' them is only fair
