Default P2.5 / facelift chrome-topped bumper trims

As above, with a strong preference for 455 Titanium Grey in good condition.

If they're the same colour, I'm happy to swap (mine are plain body coloured, from an S, Sport, or R) plus cash (£10/corner?). One has a rub on the corner, but I can paint it if it's an issue.

Missed a pair of fronts on eBay recently, in the right colour. Too slow

cheers

James

Default Bumper trims

Dont know if you are aware that the trims and chrome pieces are made seperately. You may be able to find them fron breakers or they are available from Volvo but theyre not cheap. I paid £30 for one chrome rear piece from a Main Dealer, and that was less the blue plastic trim.

Thanks for your reply Yes, my first port of call was to get prices for new parts, as these things are often surprisingly cheap (centre bumper grill for a V70R...about £15 new; breakers ask £20+!)...but not these There are 8 pieces, four of which need paint, and each is £25 or so.

Sadly, they almost always get sold with the bumper from cars breaking. I'm still kicking myself for missing the set of fronts before Christmas.

cheers

James

Thanks Mike! I already spotted those, but there are some problems. The retail prices they're quoting are nearly double the correct ones, and once their excessive shipping charge is taken into consideration, they're more expensive than new from FRF. I would consider the £25 one if I could collect, but there's only £2 or so in it.

I emailed them to point this out, and offered £20 each posted, and was told to jog on. I just picked up three of the four painted sections brand new for £1 each, so I thought £20 each was fair enough! Unless someone has a used set, I'll just buy them new from FRF.

cheers

James

I've tried all the breakers, and they won't sell them without including a free bumper!

I made a higher offer, and the eBay seller agreed, so we'll see how we get on.

cheers
