Not done a p2, but the p1 was 2 long bolts from underneath the car. One above the exhaust and one to the other side of the car. After they were removed, I think it was just the locators at the sides that held it on. Don't know how the p2 compares.......

Will need to remove battery to get to two bolts,good idea to put some tape across the socket so the nut or bolt doesn't fall off or you will be getting a magnet on a stick out.the

Roger on that,,

infact may just drill 4 holes in bumper without removing it,,,

did that on a p2 v70 some months ago,, I know the XC70 is a bigger bumper

What do you think?

If I remember it's 10 mins work ,when you do you will see the gaps for the sensors.

Just found a photo. You can see the bolt holes.
