I had it fitted when we bought our XC90 from new in 2006 and it looks as good today as it did the day it was fitted. It's purely cosmetic. At the time it ws only £147 dealer fit option so .....you get what you pay for....I guess.

Overall, I'm glad to have gone for it at the time although I prefer the 2007- MY rear end bumper plates. Sadly these are not compatable with the pre-2007 MY bumpers due to the moulding.

Best wishes, Arianne.


Hi Arianne

Good to see a fellow Scot on here.. I am not far up the road from you!

Yes, I paid just over £100 for it... supply only (delivered) and as you say... its 1 £3 bit of plastic!

It does finish the rear end though... so regardless o fcost, its worth it.

Can I ask where you get your xc90- serviced? Is it Clelands?
