XC90 - Silver part on Back Bumper?

Mitesh · Jan 11th, 2010, 16:31

Hi, I have had my XC90 55 plate 185BHP for a week now and love it!!! Am having the side steps fitted on friday. I have noticed that some XC90's have a Silver part on the back bumper, is this an extra and if so can it be added to the existing bumper? Thanks Mitesh

It's standard on some models so maybe you can get it and retro fit?

Facelifted models from mid 06 onwards have a silver trim extension on the lower part of the rear bumper. Some pre facelifted models have a silver rear skid plate fitted (such as the early Volvo Ocean Race edition) - these cost around £150 from a Volvo dealer (excl fitting) and are not that hard to put on but check you like the look of it before you invest!

Yes - can be retro fitted.
FRF Volvo supplied mine:

Rear Aluminium Skid Plate: [8670930]

Fitting - not too difficult - need a large drill bit and/or round file - second pair of hands is helpful.

Cheers
Ian
