Changing the front grill
Just managed to acquire via ebay a "big badge" front grilll for my 2006 XC90.
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! |

A couple of quite recent ones actually, go back a few pages in this section you will soon find them.
Good luck

you lucky bgggrrr...I have been after one of those, but haven't checked ebay for a while ! I actually bought a new grill, but it turned out to be for the oldest model.
I have to say it was a five minute job (maybe even less) & there were instructions on one of my posts, if you look back with the search option. What did u end up paying if u don't mind me asking? I still fancy one. |

Do you know what the retail is on these new grills? I was lucky I think as I managed to find a used which hopefully is in good order. |

Retail is >£200, FRF will do you one for circa £180, but still a lot for a bit of plastic...I only paid £25 for my 'old' version, which was a bargain for brand new. Still hanker over the big badge one tho'...

FRF charged me £130.38 + Vat. (June 2010) That's quoting C3 for the discount.
