If the lower grill or the smoked panels on each side of the open grill get broken on your XLR, a replacement panel with the name "Cover" is available from Cadillac for $58.43. The part number is 15247799. That part number is for the entire lower grill and side panel assembly. It is about the same price (according to the local Huntsville AL Cadillac dealer) as if you order just one of the three pieces.

·I had one smoked panel break on the way to BG and my dealer replaced it because the plastic should have been a hard poly plastic that could take a little beating.

http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZS Well silverX & My good buddy XLR Ken, if you know Hans, he likes to drive fast and I have never gone above 120, he asked me if he could take it up to the limiter.
I said yes, on a clean highway on both sides and about that time wouldn't you know that the highway cleared and I was at the wheel.
Sorry Hans, I didn't mean to steal your thunder, but someone had to find out how fast these V's where.
Gooooooooooooooo Hans

$73.53 from mine + shipping. That's for the whole thing, not just the center panel.
Just ask cadillac tech what his price is and have him get it for you and ship it to you. I know he is probably more than willing to help:yesnod

Alabama Dealer Price
Cubby/Homegameroom:
I did purchase the entire assembly (left panel, center grill, right panel) here in Huntsville AL from Bentley Cadillac for $58.43 plus local sales tax. Only the passenger side panel was broken, but for the price I decided to replace the whole assembly. Now I have a couple of extra pieces if required. A low flying bird hit the panel at night on the highway. It is a pretty cheaply made piece of plastic.

·To Q8knight,
Yes, the grill is not functional. go to your dealer and try and get a piece of paper between the grill bars. the bottom part of grille is not very functional because of the radar behind for the ACC and the other plastic biece is just for show, but your V may have more air because the ACC is not on the V.
Hope this helps your decision.
