Hi...

Also, I believe RT Mechanics Ltd in Liphook now sell Heico parts so, maybe worth calling them too on 01428 722144. They're web address is:

www.rtmechanics.co.uk

Good luck

Thanks both of you for the advice, I saw the ebay one, but wasn't so sure about the quality and fit. So I think I go for the Heico One.
Just one question, to those that have an sports grille, dont you feel odd not having the Volvo Sign?
Im starting to have mix feelings about getting one. People might be confused on the make of car Im driving. And since I am a proud Volvo owner will that be good for me?

Yes, I guess you right, Having a Heico badge doesnt help either. People might asking whats Heico?

Any chance I could get a Volvo badge which could fix to the lower side of the Mesh? I think that would look good. I just found a standard badge on ebay but I guess I may need to drill some holes in it, to fix onto the Mesh.

Thanks

Hi...

I seem to remember that what has been done before is that a Volvo slash/badge from an S40 new shape grille has been added to the aftermarket mesh grilles. That way you get the best of both worlds!!!

Regards

You can do what I did, get a chepo ebay special and put a HEICO badge on it!

However, my local Volvo parts dept guy said to replace it with an R badge the other week.....But its not an R I told him! Anyway, what do they know?

This one looks better without chrome being a light coloured car.

Here's a picky pre-accident:-
