Fitting R Design bumper parts to an SE.

[muffking]

This will be just about my first job since buying my 2011 model V60 as I opted for the spec of the SE, but still want the sports look of an R Design.

1. Will an R Design rear valance fit an SE rear bumper?
2. Will my SE main front grille fit an R Design front bumper?
3. Does anyone have the part numbers of the remaining front grilles and any other parts I need before I check prices with the dealer?

You want to put sideskirts or you want to replace the whole lower bumpers to R-Design ones?

To replace all with R-design will be a few thousand $$$
Example, for rear you will need the bumper (31284301), protecting plate (31284301), muffler and new end pipes....

Just the font and rear bumpers, I have SE side skirts which are not that different so the bumpers are more important. The exhaust I can have modified by my local custom exhaust dealer (Powerflow).
Will the rear valance not just fit straight on to an SE rear bumper?

R-Design back skirt wont fit on regular bumper.
Front decor trim will fit.

In the back you can put normal skid plate (I have this one)

or complete R-Design rear set which you need to paint as well
(about 700$ + 300$ + work + paint)

If you modify exhaust yourself, than you need lower bumper and skid plate only

Got it. Based on your link when I look up the V60 it says the rear diffuser can be used to replace the standard one, result

Quick update.
I ordered a second hand front bumper and rear bumper insert for the V60 R Design.

The bumper has some small damage, but needs taking down the body shop for painting anyway.


I also trial fitted the R Design lower grilles that I ordered from Volvo for £150 and having checked the part numbers everything else will fit ok. So give me a week when the bumper comes back from being sprayed I should be able to start fitting the bits, then I can look at getting the exhaust modified to dual exit

Rear section arrived today. Fortunately the trims remove to reveal the painted section as that needed to go down the body shop too. Should get them back ned weekend

What painted section are you talking about ?

That insert is grey and black on an R-design. Not aware of any paint on it:

The grey section itself is painted that colour, but mine has scratches so it's gone to be repainted along with the bumper.

No offence but it all seems a lot of effort.
