Hi there,

Does anyone have any experience with removing the rear valance on a volvo s40 2008.

My car is an SE model and I have just purchased an R design valance. Hoping it is a quick and straight forward replacement job.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jason

Big bit of cardboard on floor,

Remove torx 25 screws in wheel arch and 2 in middle underneath and valance just unclips,

Reverse to refit, bit of vasaline on clips helps them clip together easier

Yes it is very easy to remove. Best if you have to people to refit so you don't scratch the paint.
