SWEEEET! Thanks for the extra pics.

I just can't believe you took a pic of the back bumper, with bird sh1t on it! :-)

The leather looks well looked after as well. Really good, especially for a 14 year old car.

So, no pic of the front end then?

Did you crump it on the way home?

Best be quick, it's gettin' dark!

No need for cruise, when you're melting down the road anyway. :-)

So that is the reason for the cut off photo of the front.

If it got more off the price that the cost off repair, then it's a 'win-win' for you.

At least it should be an easy fix, or just slide off the bumper and pap another one on - sorted!

I'm sure the Volvo leather protection would have cost a fortune. I think I'll stick with Gliptone.
