2004 V70R Trim and bumper replacement

Post by ThinAir »

Hello guys,

I have looked around but not found a definitive answer so I am just going to ask. Will the bumpers from an 05-07 V70R fit on an 04 V70R? I don't much care for the rubber bits and prefer the cleaner look. Swapping out the door trim that runs along the side looks to be an easy swap. Thank you!

Front bumper is a direct swap
Rear bumper is a lot harder you will need to buy all the very expensive parts BEHIND the bumper
It's a heck of a lot easier to sand, prime and sand the black trims down smooth and paint them.

Like my 04:

Last week I did the "heat gun on the black plastic trim" routine. (Search Youtube) They didn't come out looking TOTALLY new but it was a heck of an improvement over the faded out grayish color that they had become.
