Slater Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I have a shipment of these being sent from Sweden, and am taking pre orders right now. I only have a LIMITED number of these with this batch as they are a very hard to get item. The fit and finish is supposedly perfect - OEM quality.They will be a regularly stocked item from QuickBrick Motorsports once we get rolling full steam.Who would be interested in the initial batch?These are the same ones sold by Redicast. The Volvo slash emblem works on it, and the grilles are all black unlike the picture (the picture is raw plastic).List is $110 + $20 shipping from Sweden. In addition to the loong wait.QBM price is $115 SHIPPED to anywhere in the US. Canada will be $125 shipped.PM me if you want in on one. These only fit 850s obviously...- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5BRICK Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 these look trick!so the design is the same as the gray ones, only black? i noticed that the top pic does not have the slot in the middle that the hood latch would fit through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyROZen Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 very cool, not quite my style but it's always a good sign when new volvos parts start showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T5BRICK Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 ←IMO, this one looks terrible. but the others look good. maybe i'd need to see one mounted on a car first. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobrick Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 wow thats crazy... i'd have to see it on a car from a little bit farther away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exexpat Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 IMO, this one looks terrible. but the others look good. maybe i'd need to see one mounted on a car first. ←True, but remember, the one in the installed photo is not the same, there is no depth to the grid, so you see the rad support and horns. I think this one from the front actually looks better than the production prototype, because it doesn't have the extra hood pull channel. But the prototype from the sides/top will look better due to the depth. Still not impressed with either though...I'm almost thinking of a little dremel mod goodness...

Serge Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Not too shabby! But I always thought the egg crates squares were smaller? They look smaller on our S60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were 2, one red and one green then maybe PB.It's more of a Michael Jackson single-sequined glove thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a prototype and I posted it just to show what the black grille would look like to help people pictrure it on a car instead of sitting on a table.The bottom picture is the production version, and has the slot for the stock latch. Yes, the production version is black.Here's another pic of a prototype version mounted on a car. This pic looks way better than the horrible red pic IMO.- Slater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look smaller on our S60.←Here's a XC70 grille for comparison:I know the OEM looks better than these aftermarket eggcrate grilles, but this is the only alternative for 850 owners besides the mesh style grilles that IPD and others sell.
