Badge for Polar Parts eggcrate grill
Hi just picked up a polar parts eggcrate grill second hand with chrome surround but without a badge. Tried transferring the old badge and arms from '98 940 but no go as the badge looks too big (70mm x70mm), none of the pins line up and the arms are odd lengths.
So looks like the grill badges are specific to the grill? Taking measurements the new grill suggests a centre badge 60mm x 60mm, left arm roughly 130mm, right arm roughly 110mm Any advice? Anyone got something like this floating round? Last edited by Greybeard; Aug 18th, 2018 at 13:31. |

I just had a look on Polarparts website and they don't list the emblem separately for the grille, suggesting the parts are meant to be removed from the original grille and swapped onto the new one.
Looks like you'll have to be "anonymous" from the front for a while and search ebay for a broken or cheap egg-crate grille to deprive it of the emblem/badge/straipe.

I reckon the smaller centre badges were indeed on the 700's, Ill post a wants ad for a small centre badge 6cm x 6cm and make the wings up or 3d print a badge base and get one of those prancing moose gel badges. I will overcome one way or another!

According to :
https://www.volvopartswebstore.com/s...rimLevel=28244 and the "what else it fits" tab, the same grilles were used on all 7/9xx series. The emblem and stripes seem grille specific, rather than model specific. It seems you'll need items 7 & 8 from the list and it might be worth contacting your local Volvo dealer with the part numbers - they might just be available at a sensible price.
