Volvo 480 rear bumper bar desperately needed
To replace this. I'm ok with some welding but there isn't much left of this one!
Any help/leads gratefully received. Thank you. Rob |

You have my sympathy! Mine was like this back in 2012 (sold in 2015).
It was impossible to find a new one and the trouble is that even if you find a car at a specialist breakers, most were in the same state once the bumper cover was removed. Also the rot gets to the bolt areas. I found a passable one eventually and hammerited it to within an inch of its life. I think you'll have to go online, find who has 480 breakers and then take your tools with you if they will let you have a look yourself? Has the Volvo breakers on the A1 near Bedford got one - Lakes ? Last edited by Ulrikas PA; May 21st, 2022 at 10:22. |

I tried the Lakes breakers yesterday. They said they would investigate so I'm hoping to catch up tomorrow. I'm more than happy to weld something up but I fear with this one (because of someone using expanding foam to patch it), once it goes to the sand blasters, very little if anything will return.

(Ps it's a while since my 480, but I managed to find new, old stock front and rear clusters and an Info centre at the time, so you never know re the bumper insert!) |
