Re: Plastic Parts Repair
here is the broken part to repair followed by the repair itself.

Re: S70 to 850 hood swap, how insane?
AEG, The front end of the 850 is a different design than the '98-00 S70s, meaning the hood, fenders, bumper cover, header panel, headlight assemblies, and corner lights are all different. The hood and fenders are not compatible due to differences in design and mounting points. A full front-end conve...
