Hi all. I have a 340 gle, only 5k on the clock! It is in amazing condition, and i posted in the new members/introduction bit. However, although the car looks great, the bumbers need some "work", and i am a clueless ex motorcycle rider. Anyone here point me in the right direction? I am sorry the pic is poor quality, will upload better ones soon. Any help, suggestions will be much appreciated, thanks

Sorry, just as an addition, the bumpers have never been " hit", they are just looking tired and old, just cosmetic stuff i guess.....

Im an ex motorcyclist too, I used to dread volvo drivers and I now find it ironic I own and drive 2 volvos

For bumpers wipe cheap margarine on them!

I put smooth peanut butter on mine - they come up a treat

Hi mate.
You could always take them off.
Plastic primer,then paint them black again.
Cheers Mark.

Thanks for the help guys. Not sure about the margarine and peanut butter though: she looks good enough to eat as she is!
