Default V50/S40 2004-07 Pre-facelift Egg Crate Grille

I finally sold my V50 this week so have some parts to sell. I have a genuine Volvo egg crate style grille from a S40 that makes a V50 looks so much better than it's original 'waterfall' grille.

It's used but is clean and in good condition. It has a blemish in the top right corner but isn't noticeable when fitted. £150. Thanks

Just to check, is your asking price a typo or is 150 (one hundred and fifty) correct?

They are £300 new and I've never seen a second hand one for less than £100, I spent months looking for one.

No I haven't sold it yet.

Thanks

Errm, sorry to put spanner in the works but I bought a used OEM S40 grill off ebay a few weeks ago for £40 delivered and it was in A1 condition. This is why I wanted to check your advert didn't contain a typo as price may have put people off (i.e. £15 reasonable given the damage to grill). Still, you never know. Good luck with the sale.

Well I guess it's always a case of you get what someone is willing to pay on the day. I've now got a Mk5 Golf GTI, I was looking for a spare set of Monza alloys and saw some good ones go for just £200 the other day but I missed the chance to buy. Now every set I see go for £350-£450.

I'm willing to negoitiate a bit if anyone wants to make an offer, I might just stick it on ebay at some point and see what happens.

I've also got a cup holder, some alloy caps and spare tyre to sell at some point!

Quite sad to see my V50 go

Mk5 Golf GTI. Very nice machine indeed!

Stick your grill on ebay and put a reserve on it. It should soon shift. In fairness, I think I got a very good deal on the one I got off ebay. I also managed to pick up an OEM strut brace for only £15 off ebay so, as you say, just comes down to what people pay on the day.
