Woodgrain interior kits for Volvo 240 sedans and wagons.

I am tooling with the idea of creating woodgrain veneer and/or vinyl overlays for the dash and interiors of the Volvo 240 series vehicles. These would be do-it-yourself style. Only one such kit is available commercially and it only includes 9 short trim pieces for the middle strip across the dash and around the instrument cluster. That kit is also a bit pricey considering what it includes. There are about 20 other locations throughout the car that could accept the wood-look.
I’m interested to know what you, fellow 240 series owners, want in such a kit. What grain choices? Preference of veneer or vinyl? Price you’d expect to pay? Your ideas and suggestions are very welcome.

I have sourced two suppliers thus far for the veneers and two for the vinyls.
They offer rolls and also mixed piece lots in a variety of sizes.

I will make a master template set to be printed on the backing of the vinyl or cut-out to be placed over the veneers.

Here are some pics of woodgrains that I think would look great. What are your thoughts?

Found speaker mount/bases and grills for Volvo 240 front doors.

UPDATE DEC. 6
Hey all.

Thank you for reading my request.

I found bases/mounts and grills HT-204 style from smokeyfan1000 on turbobricks.com forums. Great communication and highly recommended. Glad I posted to several forums. Never know who you’ll find with the right parts at the right time.

Best of success with all your parts needs,

DEC 12: Installed speaker mounts, speakers and grills in front doors. Pics coming soon.

These allow mounting of 5 1/4″ – 6″ speakers up to a depth of 2 1/2 inches in the door. Dozens of different speakers will now fit. Before, only about 7 models/brands would. I went with some Pioneers TS-G1343R for $50. Sound great. They’ll do for a while. You may like this site if you want to design your own car audio system.
