Time for a poll!

 

Help me decide folks!

 

Thanks everyone. Decision made! See the Amazon thread for the detailz :)

Original for me, that's what Volvo spent loads of money making and developing so stick with it.

I get that totally but the dash pad makes the whole thing look really dark and dreary.

What about re trimming the dash pad in a lighter coloured vinyl? It doesn't absolutely have to be black, grey or whatever.

The cars a bright colour so what about red/burgundy or even cream or white?

Plaster the lot in faux Tiger skin, and get the seat covers too :-)

soft padded dash pad- for you safety obvs

That made me laugh ^^ :)

 

No ABS, no safety cell, no airbags, no crumple zones, just a hard foam pad with fairly hard plastic outer shell. And a grab handle lol+++++

Part of me desires to do this. Just part of me though. Not saying which part ;)

Can't you cobble up something from the stuff you took out the golf? :-)

As much as I like dogs I have no desire for another one of my cars to smell that way.

Option A as per original.    

 

Essential part of Amazon folklore.

 

Also more comfy to repeatedly bang head against during FTP dramas.

Wasn't Volvo one of the first manufacturers to use padded dashboards for safety's sake, shortly after the Americans began using them ? It would be a shame to lose such a feature.

What lose the Americans? That has some degree of merit (obv not ALL Americans, we'll keep the blondes with big norks and long legs).
