Cold Climate Grille Cover!

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Behold - the mythical Grille Cover!

I have only ever seen this in the accessories catalogue, never in real life.

It even has a peeky-hole so you can still see the badge :lol:

Perhaps it's just me that gets excited over a piece of 'official' vac moulded plastic - I need to get out more :rofl:

Don't get too excited - it's lost its fixings and had 2 holes drilled in it for cable ties

I just stuffed a 10" x 20" piece of rubber conveyor belt (3/8" thick) in front of radiator, it 'just' fits through the lower gap when curved then drop it around by 90 degrees, blanks bottom section of radiator and is out of sight, it can also get moved to drivers side for hot summer, stood upright.

unless crawling on the deck I think would look nicer than that section of black plastic?
