Whats involved in v50 front end upgrade
 

Hi users I'm new this forum but no stranger to Volvos as an owner. I have a question. I own a 2005 v50. I want to upgrade the front end to the newer 2011 front end. I have already bought a new 2011 front bumper and grill, but Im sure I will need the newer front head lights as they appear to be a slightly different shape. aside this does anyone know if the front wings are the same as the 2005 and if its easy to use 2005 bulbs as oppose to installing xenon bulbs and starter etc. Thanks in advance

Take a read through this post which should answer most of your queries;

Had thought about doing this myself but cost put me off and in the end I just modified the front end slightly by fitting a black mesh grill with Volvo slash. Personally, I think this makes car stand out nicely from other pre-facelift models and also from the numerous post facelift R Designs which are now kicking about.
