850R clear rear arch spats/guards

Whalley1 · Feb 21st, 2023, 11:23

Hi all.

Does anybody know where I can get a pair of the clear rear arch guard/spats for an 850R? Not entirely sure that’s what they’re called but I’m sure someone will know what I mean haha!

Cheers

I believe spats to be any lower bumper plastic trim after rear mud flaps. Early Phase1 S40/V40's had these.

Do you mean the transparent plastic strip stone protectors/guards?

I'm sure that you can purchase the transparent material from the likes of flea bay:~ from memory the last time I looked it can be supplied in a sheet form and you cut to shape/size.
Odds-on at a fraction of the price from a Volvo supplier.

Yes, it is called helicopter tape. I purchased some off ebay made by 3M to replace the sill protectors on the C70. Better quality than Volvo.original, much, much cheaper and very easy to cut and apply.

They could be the ones. This car has them but they’re black. It’s the best I can explain haha!

Helicopter tape will replicate that quite easily. The sill protectors on my C70 were quite scruffy when I bought it - high heels had done it no favours. The previous owners, not mine.

I removed the stainless sill plate and with a hairdryer soon removed the old tape. Trimmed the new tape to fit and applied by smoothing with my thumb. Although it doesn't show well in the photo the clear tape is the full length of the door opening and just lips over the edge of the sill. You may be able to see a feint line about 10mm down from the sill top - that is the edge of the tape. No bubbles at the time and none 6 years later.

Absolute star! Cheers for that. Exactly what I’m after. I take it that is for both the rear arch sides and I don’t have to buy two lots?
