If you feel confident, you could snap the Volvo swish off, buy an aftermarket grille (about £30 shipped from Germany), and superglue the swish back on it.

I've got a spare swish waiting for this to happen.....

shhh! I was bidding on that



Postage charges on it are rather extortionate -- I asked and she won't use a courier -- wonder if it's worth Kieran driving down to Yeovil for it though...

ooh!

Shell we agree in advance on the price set by the market then?

We might both get one for £11 here Kieran

Mine isn't too bad so I don't mind waiting for a bargain anyway.

Plus there's a guy in Rotherham selling a black mesh & chrome OEM grille, that I might be buying this weekend. Not cheap (£30) and I do think I'd rather stay stock if it's affordable though. You can get OEM all-chrome no-badge grille from Germany for £29 delivered from eBay, and that's another option as I've got that spare swish.

Still a lot cheaper than a genuine new one.
A few years back I ended up having to do just that.

This gets sillier and sillier, £35 for a broken one

Might be worth upgrading mine!
