Bumper trim replacement

wheelnut · Feb 23rd, 2020, 17:43

Unfortunately I hit a buzzard recently on the motorway (couldn’t avoid it) and it has cracked the black panel around and above the fog light on the front near side of my V90 R design. (Shown in the attached).
Does anyone know the part number, cost and how easy it is to fit? Don’t really want to have to remove the bumper to replace it.

How’s the Buzzard?

I think, sadly, it may be an ex-buzzard. It flew across in front of me into the side of an HGV I was overtaking and bounced off into the lane right in front of me.

Unusual for a buzzard to be flying so low.

It was in a roadworks section of the M6. I saw it fly across from the right and thought it was going to clear the traffic but it didn’t. I have seen them fly up from the verge on country roads before. Frequently see them perched on the fences by motorways around the UK.

Thanks Haldex. Any idea if it is a bumper off job?

On Volvos past these things always clipped in. Generally from the front so that an impact or deflection just serves to push them into place more strongly. I would just have a poke around at the broken one if I was you and see what gives.

Maybe warm the broken trim and surrounding bumper up with a hairdryer before attempting to pull it off, it will make it more pliable and more likely to come out without breaking anything on the bumper. Also warm the new part before refitting so as not to snap off any lugs/pins etc on the new part.

Don't know for sure but I'm with Philip Fisher on this one- most likely a clip-on- and that's what it looks like from the diagram.
