Early 80s 240 eggcrate grille
I'm pining after an eggcrate grille for my 240 (see attachment). I know they're unusual but if anyone happens to have one and fancies exchanging it for some currency please let me know!

I don’t think that one in the pic is from a 240, I think it’s from a 940, slightly bigger holes and top corner two blocked off, but I may be wrong. The egg crate grills were fitted to the first couple of years of the plastic bumpers cars, so 81-around 83. But these were the flat fronted bonnet, so if you are planning to fit to the car in your profile pic it will sit two far back without some modifications. Good luck with finding one.

You might be able to adapt a 740 Turbo egg-crate grille to fit. I know that someone on the forum has done this, as I enquired about the egg-crate on his 240, knowing where there was a 740 one.
Unfortunately some ham-fisted numpty broke off the mounting lugs and part of the top section of said grille when trying to remove it, thereby rendering it useless.

Thanks to all for your responses. A forum member kindly got in touch with me and has provided me with one. I have some suitable aluminium so when I get the chance I'll fashion some mounts, clean it up and get it on the car.
