Parking lot comedian...Somebody cracked the radiator grill and surround on my 2009 model x-type. As this model had a short manufacturing period I'm having real trouble finding a second hand one.

Does anybody know where I can ask for this? It's the mesh style grill with the "growler" badge (like an XF) plus the plastic surround.

Also - can anybody say whether it makes a difference on this part if the car is RHD or LHD? Mine is LHD.

Thanks

 

You might want to give DrDome a forum member a Private Message. He parts x-types and might be able to help you out. If he doesn't have one he might know where one is.

 

Thanks. I'll do that.

Just thought that I'd even take a new one as long as it came painted the right colour.

 

Give bertieboy a shout on the UK site; he breaks them, so he may have access to to a new surround for you!

 

Thanks... I had a look just now and I'm unclear how to contact either bertieboy or Drdome if they are not online. Where do I find an emailing function or messaging?

Cheers

 

X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009 is the UK site, Bertieboy practically lives there, so you'll find him quick, otherwise do a search on his username and click on "Send Private Message"; his actual handle is bertieboy9

 

A big plus to that, Mark has posted to the US before and he's a damn good bloke.

 

Thanks All.. I'm in touch with him now. Hope he's got the solution tucked away somewhere !
