850 R front bumper

rado

As many of us probably know trying to find a decent R bumper is almost impossible . Mine was in a very sad state when i bought my car and repaired it twice already and now need a repair again . I stumbled on a site this morning .............

Not a proper R bumper i know , but maybe worth a look

Get a glas guy to make a mold, run off half a dozen with CF impregnated , lots of CF down bottom, add a splitter to mold too?

You've got me thinking . Just been looking at web sites and found one in Rockingham 10 minutes from me . Prestige fibreglass . Looking at the site they also do body panels and custom work . I'll drop by sometime this week and have a chat ....

I like it , but there appears to be no provision for the fog lights ....

Looks like plenty of provision to me

Played with plenty of fibreglass over the years, not too daunting if you have a passable original. Easy ro rectify glits if you only want one as replacement. Perfecting the mould to make subsequent items is the tough one.

Word was that VCP were looking for good examples a while ago to remake them, could be bogus though.

If I could trust the moulding processes Id lend my bar out for reproduction as mine is absolutely perfect and supposedly one of the last new ones sold by Volvo many years ago

They (GCP) had a post up on their Facebook asking for a good spare, it sounds like they found one but NFI if/when new bumpers will come on the market
