Dean you're a bit hard to please TBH.

The OEM replacement bumpers were \ are £1000 + from Volvo.

Harringtons can do the stainless versions in bulk for under £500, and you're concerned that they need fettling? What on an old car doesn't?

Did anyone's Simonz exhaust fit first go? Mine didn't, and it wasn't exactly cheap.

Gordon Hunter told the board \ me ages ago that they need power washing and adjusting to fit. I'm pretty naive when it comes to old cars and even I wasn't surprised when I was told they need work to fit. I personally don't have the wedge to dump £1000 on bumpers. I'd count yourself lucky if you can afford to do so.

You couldn't get the original bumpers re chromed for that, and I live in the North West!

Seriously, with the greatest of respect, what do you expect for £500?
