unless its mint and in correct colour, its probably worth finding out price new first (IIRC 850 versions are in primer, x70's supplied pre painted

Rufe sorted me one out for my 854. Top quality and service, particularly since Rufe was ble to send it straight to the bodyshop who painted and fitted it.

ive seen them sell on Fleabay for as little as £33 + Postage which was for a scruffy primered one and as much as £200 + Postage for a very tidy Olive Green T5R one, so quite a wide spectrum really.

How much did you pay WMD if you dont mind me asking ?

Also Nads is breaking a T5R Olive Green, so i dare say theres a bumper there ;)

Noticed someone selling a DTM one on the Bay today for £80 - but if i'm honest, it looks cr@p compared to the real deal. It is the defining part, so would consider a new one if it became neccesary. If you read this Simon, are these a dwindling stock item?

I can remember them being around that price too as it happens!

that is a good question, but i would say i do not know really. They are actually easier to get hold of currently than they were a few months back. I sold one yesterday and it came in this morning, so they are stocking them in the uk, but I have no idea if they have plans to stop selling them at any time soon. I would say your safe for a while, but couldn't put my life on it, but the same go's for every other part really I suppose. I think its a case of simple supply and demand, while there is still some demand they will carry on to supply.

I presume R front bumpers are no longer manufactured by Volvo and there is a limited stock?

No I don't think so really, still easy to get hold of really, but i suppose demand is less now than before, when the cars were newer.

Type in " Volvo 850 Breaking " or go to the advanced search option and go for the seller name and type in Volvomotorsport, thats Nads, he's in the midlands, West Bromwich iirc :D
