Default S40 2004-2007 Grill

Hi

I'm looking for a S40 2004-2007 grill, the "egg crate" style to put on my 2005 V50. Let me know if you are looking to get rid of one in good condition.

Thanks

Richard

Have a look on the FK tuning website they do a plain black eggcrate grill (which I have ) and a black grill with a chrome surround, much cheaper than a new volvo grill, and to be honest cheaper than a second hand volvo eggcrate grill (if you can find one!!!), they are a great fit, and if you really want the Volvo slash/badge I'm sure you could remove it from you old grill and stick it to an FK tuning one

Here's mine fitted

Thanks for the tip but couldn't find one with a chrome surround and black grills which is what I'm really after.

Found a website selling brand new genuine egg crate grill for £155.

Anyone know if that's a decent price?

Thanks

If you need one quick then possibly it is, compared to main dealer prices. On the other hand if you're in no hurry then no it's not a decent price. It may take a couple of weeks and a bit of time sat at the computer but you can get one for a lot less than that by scouring ebay. As I've said before I picked up a brand new one off ebay for just £65 delivered, saving £90 on your website price.

It's up to you, do you have the cash kicking around or can you wait a few weeks and save some money??

There are other Volvo breakers online, have you tried them as well?

I'm happy to wait, I keep checking eBay for anything.

Can you recommend breakers websites? I've tried a few sites before where you submit a parts query and then neve get a reply. If you know any good breakers I'd appreciate the advice, have some other parts like a broken glove box to find too.

Thanks
