Rear bumper

IrishS40T · Oct 6th, 2010, 00:45

Hello,
New irish owner of a lovely s40t
I searched the forum but cannot find my answer. Does a phase 2 rear bumper fit phase 1? The reason i ask is on ebay i cant tell the differnce. I have a cut out on mine for a towbar kit. Looks like a great towbar, seems to have a plug and all. Well i wanna take it off anyway because Im far too young

and put on a new bumper. Actually id gladly swap the tow bar setup for a bumper from anybody

Jonnie has face-lifted his S40, in short "yes" it will fit but will require a little bit of effort.
You will also need the face-lifted rear lights.

Difference between the two bumpers:
no rub strip on the face-lifted bumper
slightly different design and the lower spoilers are not inter-changeable.
section of bumper below the lights is different between the two versions and you will end up with a gap unless you upgrade both at the same time.

Right so

I am struggling to find parts websites for the car, I found one called Swedish auto parts and a few others but they all seem to be American or they don’t stock phase 1 s40 stuff.
Where is the best place to start looking for standard parts for this bleedin car

I don’t like "boy racering" my car but I do like the idea of it sitting lower, some very light smoked tint on the headlights, a black grill and some HIDs. It already has the Volvo bbs alloys and I love the car. I just wanna make it look slightly different from a standard one. But I cant seem to find parts. So far this website has given me a lot of info, I sorted out my door lock with WD40, I diagnosed my sligh non starting as the fuel pressure regulator (although still lookin for one online). So happy days.
