Obviously not the same strength as a Volvo one, but it is less than £20!

It has the fixing points for holding the fixing screws, just like the OEM ones too.

If I like it on the car, I might just buy another one at that price, as it won't go wrong.

Maybe a black one this time, or one with the LED's built into it.

I'll get some photos up tomorrow, if I manage to get round to fitting it.

Going to attempt powering up the electric driver's seat tomorrow, then look at the grill.

Going to my bed now, as I was up at 02:30 this morning (Tunisian time), so 1:30 am here.

I've been up for over 22 hours, so ne wonder my eyes are nipping a bit!

Gary

Might get one of them and see if I can install a badge on it

I'm glad mine came standard with an eggcrate given how much they go for.

It's stupid! Made for £5 tops - straight for a mould in China and sold for around £70 new. Ridiculous lol.

Although it was more like £28 total as you have to pay VAT on top and delivery. Ho hum. Oh well, worth a go.

I forgot about the carriage, Alex.

It was £9.99 or something, wasn't it?

Still not a bad price for a brand new 'near OEM' standard grille.

Bit more but as you say it's not a lot overall.

Not sure how a badge less grill will look on my car but I'll see in a few days I guess.

How long did yours take to come?

Not sure if it will look on mine either, Alex, but worth a try.

I wasn't here when it was delivered, but it must have come on Friday or Saturday.

Ordered it on Friday 21st at about 18:21 (I say about, as I didn't put in the seconds, lol!).

So, it took a week.

TBH, I forgot I had ordered it and wondered what it was when I opened it.

It comes really well packed, wrapped in that thin polystyrene wrap, then bubble wrap, into a close fitting cardboard box which it then put into a big cardboard, so it is well protected!
