Used Truck Front Grilles & Radiator Grilles

Used truck front grilles & radiator grilles for European HGVs

Front grilles and radiator grilles are key exterior components on any heavy truck. They protect the radiator and charge air cooler from road debris, help direct airflow through the cooling pack and define the front look of the cab. On modern European lorries, the grille assembly is designed specifically for each brand and cab generation, often integrating brand badges, trim and openings for cameras or radar.

In this category we offer used OEM front grilles, radiator grille panels and grille surrounds removed from complete donor trucks. Typical examples include lower and centre radiator grilles for DAF XF/CF and Volvo FH/FM, front grille inserts for Mercedes-Benz Actros and complete grille frames for MAN and Scania cab fronts.

What you will find in the Grills category

Stock in the Grills category changes as new donor vehicles arrive, but it typically includes:

• complete front grille assemblies with main panel, mesh and integrated trim;
• radiator grille panels – upper, lower and centre sections in front of the radiator/intercooler pack;
• grille surrounds and frames that support the grille panel and attach to the cab front;
• brand-specific grille inserts with cut-outs for badges, cameras, radars or auxiliary lights;
• selected brackets and clips associated with the grille assembly, listed where supplied with the panel.

Each product listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details, so you can compare grille design, mounting points and trim level with the front of your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most grilles in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF series (for example XF106 radiator grille sections for Euro 6);
• Mercedes-Benz Actros tractors and rigids, including Euro 6 MP4 radiator grille centre inserts;
• MAN TGS and TGX long-haul and construction trucks;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage cab fronts;
• other brands such as Scania and Iveco when suitable donor trucks are available.

Because these are genuine OEM grilles removed from complete vehicles, they usually match a specific model generation, cab height and bumper/headlamp design, which is important for correct fit and appearance.

Why truck front grilles matter

A damaged or missing grille affects more than just the look of the truck:

• Cooling performance – the grille directs airflow into the radiator and charge air cooler while shielding the fins from stones and debris;
• Protection – a strong grille helps protect expensive components such as radiators, intercoolers and A/C condensers;
• Professional presentation – a straight, clean grille and correct OEM trim keep your fleet looking smart and presentable;
• Resale value – tidy cab fronts with matching grilles and badges give buyers more confidence than patched-up repairs.

Typical reasons to replace a truck grille

Common reasons to order parts from this category include:

• cracked or broken grille panels after minor front-end impacts or yard damage;
• missing slats or mesh caused by stone impacts and everyday wear;
• broken mounting tabs or frames so the grille no longer sits correctly in the cab front;
• corroded metal inserts or brackets behind the grille panel;
• converting or updating the cab front to a later OEM grille design on the same truck platform.

How to choose the correct front grille

To minimise fitting issues and ensure the right appearance, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and generation – for example DAF XF105/XF106, Mercedes Actros MP3/MP4, MAN TGX Euro 6, Volvo FH4;
• cab type – day, sleeper, high-roof or low-roof, as grille designs can differ between cabs;
• bumper and headlamp style – facelifted trucks often use different grille shapes and trim lines;
• grille position – upper, lower or centre radiator grille section, complete assembly or insert only;
• openings and cut-outs – for manufacturer badges, cameras, radar sensors or additional lights;
• OEM part numbers and casting numbers from your original grille, matched against the references in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of the existing grille and cab front. Our team can help confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM grilles from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts taken from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that cab and exterior components, including grilles, can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove the grille assemblies, check for cracks and broken fixings, and reject units that do not meet our standards.

Usable grilles are cleaned externally, labelled and stored under cover in our warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.
