Default Has anyone bought an egg-crate grill from Mad Motors?

I saw a link from Cliveski referencing a cheap, after market egg-crate grill from Mad Motors (£45 plus P&P). Has anyone bought one of these and is it any good?

Not personally, but I don't think it can be any worse than the original Volvo one which is made off the cheapest and most brittle plastic humanity has ever known...

I'm sure £45 is including the £10 postage?

Nar; http://www.madmotors.co.uk/bodykits-...ort-grill.html

I worked it through the cart to checkout and the £10 P&P was extra - so binned it at that point.

You do know that the one linked won't fit our S40/V40 model though, don't you?

That is for the newer (post 2004) S40/V50 model.
