My V50, with grille change- thanks to Scoobysn7x!

Why not ask the seller of this item if he'll remove the grille and sell it to you seperately? Try offering him something like £30-40 posted, you never know.

I got really lucky with mine and bought a brand new one from a guy on ebay for £65 delivered. It really does improve the look of the V50's front end massively!

Good luck with you search.

Don't know if you've already contacted them or not but might be worth a try if you haven't.

Cheers mate. Actually already messaged the guy yesterday but not heard anything back yet! Yeah couldn't agree more, I love the look of the V50 but not the (in my opinion) old fashioned waterfall grille! Shame it was standard in this country. Will have a look at the other links you've thrown up. Thanks again.

I've found one at a scrappies but they want £101 for it delivered... I'm thinking that's a fair bit overpriced. Any views from the people in the know?

Yes and no, yes for a silly bit of plastic its massively over priced (but then the S40/V40 Eggcrates are the same) and £101 seems a bit steep for 2nd hand, but then no, because I'm sure there about £200 from a stealers new, most scrappies have now realised they are sought after and they can get a premium price for them.

Honestly the FK tuning ones look as good as stock and as someone already said not hard to glue/stick a volvo badge on!, I got mine from the German FK tuning site when they had them in the sale, I think it can to less than £30 deliver it was something stupid like £13 for the grill in the sale & £16 to ship it. I much prefer the plain grills makes the front more moody/aggresive but each to there own...

Holy Crap, i really am going to glue mine in!!

If im ever in the gutter, ill be going around popping out S40 grilles and sticking them on Ebay for £100 a pop. Easy money! :O
