True Swede Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 HiLast week I ordered a XC grille at eBay. The ad mentioned the emblem on the slash was somewhat scratched, but I decided that was no big deal and in worse case I could just replace the slash. I received the grille yesterday and to my very big disappointment every single of the six taps (or is it called tabs??) that attaches the grille to the hood were broken off. It's almost like someone simply ripped the grille out of the hood. This pissed me off since it was not mentioned in the ad and I would not have bought it if I had known. I emailed the seller today and am still waiting for a reply before I give him a bad feedback. I would like to send it back but if he refuses I will have to do the best of it and fix it. I guess I can take the taps from the grille that's on the car now, but that means I would have to break the rubber pieces (that are supposed to prevent rattle I believe) to be able to insert them in their spot. What do you guys recommend me to do?Also, the grille is somewhat faded and if I keep it will have to be repainted. I did my old grille with Plasti Dip, but IMO it would not look good since I want an even surface and the Plasti is a little bit rough in my opinion. Which type of paint do you guys recommend? I am looking for a matt black, kinda like it's now, only a few shades darker.Thanks,TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 VII 7 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 yeah, well technically the grille is broken, there is no way to attach the grille to the hood of the car unless YOU fix something... so if it did not say it was broken... you have something to fight about.

True Swede Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 yeah, well technically the grille is broken, there is no way to attach the grille to the hood of the car unless YOU fix something... so if it did not say it was broken... you have something to fight about.That is how I feel about it. Eventhough it's not a big deal to fix it's the fact it was not disclosed in the ad. I may be a bit picky, but I believe in "what's right should be right". And I still haven't heard from the seller. BTW, the name of the seller is "volvopartsonly" on eBay. Has anyone else dealt with them?Any suggestions on the paint?TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
