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!

Is the big badge and the front grill sold seperately?

It's all moulded in one piece, so no, I'm afraid

I belive FRF Volvo is cheaper with the C3 discount. It's a while since I bought mine from them so I can't give you an up to date price. FRF charged me £130.38 + Vat. (June 2010) That's quoting C3 for the discount.

That seller in the Ebay link is a bit OTT with his prices; £160 plus postage for an alarm kit is at nearly £70 more than I paid for one last year from Rufe, I think the rest of his prices are out by a similar amount.

Was quoted circa £180 in April 2011 from FRF (can't recall if that ex vat or inc) but I thought that was just too much for a bit of fancy plastic. Picked up an older (as new) second hand one off eBay for £25, so the odd bargain does come up.

Do you mean the square badge one?

I still have my old one in the garage. I was just keeping it for ????? Just in case I suppose. I don't know why I keep my old wiper blades either. Maybe I should ebay it.

No I was after the latest big badge version & FRF quoted circa £180. I ended up with a 'brand new' old version (smallest badge) for about £25 from Ebay, but some of them were selling for a lot more.

When you say no, do you mean it wasn't the small square badge like I had on my 03 originally or is it a small round badge as opposed to the new large round badge? I have never seen a small round badge XC90 badged grill but it wouldn't be the first time I'd missed something on a new model.

There's a pic of my new grill in my photo album. (also the original one.)

I've just thought maybe my question was confusing. I was asking about the ebay one. Not your query to FRF.
