Are you asking because you want a different look or can't find a genuine one ?

There's this guy on Facebook make extensions to convert a V70 into a V70R bumper, and also splitter for the 850R and V70R

My main dealer said they had stopped supplying them in 2918 because the last batch Volvo had made were poor quality and a lot were returned. They would have come through Volvo Genuine Classic Parts. At the time they quoted £165 + VAT which I would have been happy with if the were of original quality.

The main dealer said they would have to come through Volvo Genuine Classic Parts, is this what you mean by Classic Warehouse catalogue?
