Paint code volvo 46 I’m guessing ....
The headlight ring is straight forward to screw on , the bumper corner may need bumper iron straighting to then adjust and bolt back in position .
Here is my website for more info or contact details

Hi Robert,
Most grateful for your reply & advice, thank you!
I must add this is exactly why I became a member of this forum and a VOC member : tremendous like minded Volvo folks!
I've seen the panel at Brookhouse Volvo - calling Simon about that tomorrow.
Ordered the headlight bezel from Brookhouse earlier today, so all good there.
A respray, in fact a fresh paint job on the new panel would be ideal.
May I contact you separately re options, estimates etc please?
Do you think it's best to replace a damaged/dented panel for an entirely new panel ?
Generally I'm not keen on rejuvenating a dented panel ; weakened / stress metal doesn't provide maximum assurance.
Also concerned that a single freshly painted panel is going to show up against the current coat, itself in terrific knick and I had costed with Gtechniq last Autumn.
Cheers and big thanks for getting in touch - It's crushing to see her damaged, worse that it was due to some unknown knitwit.
Cheers!
