ok....how about a nice sticker to cover the damaged badge? http://www.davebarton.com/VolvoPrancingMoose.html some very good R-sport ones there aswell. I keep meaning to order some.

Or you can remove the badge and emblem from the grille and de-badge it, fill in the gaps, and spray it black. A couple of guys on here have done it, but you'll have to search for the relevant thread.

^ that's a hella grille dude.
I'm gonna write a strongly worded letter to Paul Hogan.
He has absolutley mislead us all regarding the amounts of shrimp that gets barbaqued in Australia.

You could always cut the grille centre out of the frame and tack a mesh in there. That's been done too and looks pretty cool.

My Wife - proper Aussie ( unlike me who just got thrown out of Birmingham and happened to land there ) who is never, ever wrong informs me that a shrimp is actually a prawn.....

Hella Grilles are made of the same stuff as rear louvres sadly, I've never seen one over here, and don't expect to sadly. Mesh would look good :)
