99 s70 t5 front bumper swap or repaint?
My front bumper is pretty ugly. Just the usual 271,000 miles on it, nicks and paint gone, the rest of the car is perfect. There is a very good condition front bumper same color at the junkyard, I was thinking of having mine repainted, but now I'm thinking of getting the bumper and swapping it. My car has fog lights this one doesn't, but there are probably the holes there for them if I push those grilles out right? Also how would I put it in since the rivets would be popped out? Any help is appreciated.

The fog light holes are separate from the little grill holes. The rivets you will have to remove one way or another and replace with new ones. This is what you need -> https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo- ... p-979878oe
You'll need 4 per side if my memory is correct but I recommend having more on hand. If you dont' have one you'll also need a rivet gun.

Same thing here, front bumper bad, so I used a junk yard bumper which was in excellent condition.
I paid $50 for the bumper cover.
