front one is defo no, the headlights are a different shape & were the 850 has seperate panels under the headlamp for the wipers, the V70 has them built into the bumper

any decent bodyshop should be able to do it, if they paint them with 2-pack paint it'll resist the stone chips/flaking alot better as the paint is more flexible. I paid £80 to get my T-5R bumper painted so it shouldn't cost that much to get done

you can use the v70 front bumper but you will ave to replace the complete front end and fit all of the v70 parts headlights, wings, bonnet etc.
