    Tow bar

    Will the S60 tow bar fit the V70? And will an XC70 grille fit the V70?

    p1 xc70 grille will fit the p1 v70 as this is what we have on ours, so I'd imagine it will be the same for the P2's,as for the tow-bar I wouldn't know, but I think it would be unlikely as a straight bolt on with out modification, but I'm sure someone on here will know for sure

    I'm very certain the towbar is the same.
    I just put an S60 OEM towbar on the V70.

    Looking here: http://www.volvopartswebstore.com/pr...0682110-9.html it shows the same part number.
    I realize this is the US/Canadickensian version, but scroll down towards the bottom and click "SHOW" where it says "fits other variants" and it shows all the others.

    Volvo S60 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
    Volvo S80 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006
    Volvo V70 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
    Volvo XC70 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
    Volvo XC90 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011


    I would think the bodies are the same on the European cars between the models too. Find the part number for your bar, then google it and cross reference it to the V70 or S60.

    Was only told by MRP it won't, but looking again it looks like the XC is at least a bit taller.

    just looked it up, I'd forgotten the pig ugly plastic nose ( well it was with certain colours ) and the grille looks much bigger
