Is there a black grill available for the 850, like the black one for the 940? Can i use the C70 grill? because that fits the S70, i found one in ebay but it doesnt have the volvo emblem

 

The AWD V70wagon has a black grill. Yes the C70 grill will work as well.

 

black grill? What color is the paint?

 

Ok one there is no stock replacement black grille for an 850 that I know of. IPD sells a black mesh grille for the 850's also EST sells a black mesh grille and eggcrate style black grille for the 850's.

Two a c70 grille will not work on an 850. Just like an 850 grille wont work on a s70 and vice versa.

Three you can paint your stock grille black. Check over on Volvospeed for the writeup. Use Plastidip.

Take a look at these pictures

1. C70 grille,



2. 850 grille,



Look at the difference between the c70 and the 850 grilles. They will not work either way.

So your options are painting yours black, IPD and or EST.

 

that C70 IS HOT!!!!! i dont think they sold these cars here in panama, but the new model will be available in june here

 

So are you painting yours, buying IPD and or buying an EST grille?

 

Sorry to bump an old thread but does anyone know where I could a "debadged" grill like the ones mentioned above but in the UK?

Cheers
Iain

Found some

http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...p?cPath=29_357

Don't know if that's as cheap as they get though.

 

Pardon me but WHO is EST?

Web site?

They are in Canada. Good company, IMO.

EST (Canada) sells a black mesh grille and so does IPD (in the U.S.A.)

Also the link you posted http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...p?cPath=29_357

The grilles on there are at a decent price, HOWEVER look at these on EST.

The better deal for your site you listed is the Square type grille, your best deal for mesh grilles is through EST.

IPD's mesh grille sells for $155 US

 

Cheers for the info.

The problem is that the link I posted is the only grills I can find in the UK. When you add shipping plus tax for importing the parts (unless you can get the stuff labelled as samples etc) not only is it a large headache it's probably more expensive than buying it from a UK company.

Many thanks
