Changing the front grill

Keith Hall · Sep 25th, 2011, 22:11

Just managed to acquire via ebay a "big badge" front grilll for my 2006 XC90.

Seller has said its a 5 minute job to change over.

Are there any guides on here about this or any one got any tips on how to do this?

Cheers!

A couple of quite recent ones actually, go back a few pages in this section you will soon find them.

Good luck

you lucky bgggrrr...I have been after one of those, but haven't checked ebay for a while ! I actually bought a new grill, but it turned out to be for the oldest model.

I have to say it was a five minute job (maybe even less) & there were instructions on one of my posts, if you look back with the search option.

What did u end up paying if u don't mind me asking? I still fancy one.

Thanks for the tip off and I'll take a look back through the forum to find your post.

Do you know what the retail is on these new grills? I was lucky I think as I managed to find a used which hopefully is in good order.

Retail is >£200, FRF will do you one for circa £180, but still a lot for a bit of plastic...I only paid £25 for my 'old' version, which was a bargain for brand new. Still hanker over the big badge one tho'...

Couldn't you look for one in a breaker's yard?

harvey07 · Sep 29th, 2011, 21:18

Aye, I guess I could...

Not that common though I would have thought as only available on newer models and in a front end, not much left of the grill I'd guess

Gents I was thinking of changing my on my newly purchased 56 plate sport. Can you point me at the guides please or give me a qucik run through. I am going to buy a new one I think and try and recover a few quid by selling the old one (still like new) on Ebay.

FRF charged me £130.38 + Vat. (June 2010) That's quoting C3 for the discount.
