Wanted. 850 grille

[nobananas]

Anybody got a standard 850 front grille they would like to sell ?

[Justin]

I have mate, whats it worth to you ?

[nobananas]

Hmmm, only want to pay 'breakers yard' money (I am a tight a*se !). I also intend to butcher it for the good of style and humanity ! (I have a cunning plan which probably won't work :cuckoo: ) would you accept a tenner plus p&p ?

[Justin]

Lol, thats not breakers money, they are £40 from salvo mate, its worth more than a tenner sat in my garage ;)

[Wobbly Dave]

I have a slightly damaged one with no stripe you can have for a tenner?

Don't worry I cleaned off all the pigeon - http://www.volvot5.co.uk/volvogallery/albums/T5Tour/1_ex_pigeon.jpg

Thanks Dave but unfortunatly it was the chrome surround that I needed intact more then anything, nice pidgeon upgrade though ! Justin, I'm talkin breakers yards that you have to walk knee high in the mud round and haggle with 'man in hut' to get your trophy ! (I recently got a set of front fogs, foglamp switch, relay, jumper box from the breakers I use for......13 QUID :eye-poppi ) I was just trying to save me wellies, cheers anyway.

[Justin]

Ok mate no worries, they are handy to have as spares, however if you find an outlet like that for me let me know ;)

NB - the chrome surround on mine is intact. The only break in it is on one of the vertical bits.

[nobananas]

Ahhh..sorry, on the pic it looks like it's damaged at the bottom ,but I think thats a bit of pigeon :tombstone . '. I'll have a word with mrs nb and get back to you.

[Wobbly Dave]

If it doesnt fit the plan (there is a plan?) then send it back - no probs.

[nobananas]

A cheque is on route and I await, angle grinder at the ready :dgrin:

[Wobbly Dave]

If you intend to do what I think you have in mind - I think you will come up short. The attachments for the uprights go very deep into the chrome lip. If you cut them off with the hope of fixing on a mesh then I think you will struggle?

I don't want to see you work unecessarily?

[nobananas]

Don't worry. I'm hoping no mesh will be involved ! I may just make a lot of mess and nothing productive, but I'd rather do it to a 'spare' grille then risk a beating from mrs nb :hidesbehi

Hey NB. Gimme a shout when your done I'll come up and see what you been up to as I'm just down the road.

[nobananas]

If it looks ok, i'll show you ! If it looks :pants: it will be buried in the garden!

[Wobbly Dave]

That's OK then - indeed it is better to try it out before hand
