There's usually some on ebay.
Black with chrome trim, and black with black trim.
I haven't got one yet - I've got other money-pits to fill first!

Not bad, I tried both on mine, either the all black or the black with the chrome, coudlnt decide between them! Everytime I put the black and chrome one on people were going on about how it made it look like an Audi!

I got mine then changed my mind and painted the mesh with chrome paint.

Could you not buy some mesh and cut out your exsisting grille and use the outter edge?It might look a bit naff,But it won't cost you much and use some industrial glue or hard as nails then spray it over.

but then you have to consider relocating the horns...a bit fiddly but looks clean :sinner: http://www.volvospeed.com/Mods/hornrel.php

I'm with markt5 on this one, the standard grill with the vertical bits painted black looks great. These mesh ones cost a bomb

Guy they are so easy to move, The difficult part was cutting the centre support to allow more air flow.
