No it's a repainted / textured bumper by steve.
He explained what was involved but I didn't realise how good the results would look.
It's darker than standard but so are the wheels, so all ties in.
Just another example of his skills

Job well done then looks like new

its actually a 4 stage process, key/fill bumper, 2k primer (with plastisizer), satin black basecoat, texture paint, colour.
colour was colour matched to inside of bumper top as outside had been painted black.
a lengthy process but well worth the time and effort.

Great work, looks stunning. Time to get using it again I think
Affraid not had the confirmation email from Volvo press manager, it's off to be displayed like the cars in Merc world.
I'm tweeking the suspension and fully major service so it can be used for track press days.
So quite literally I won't even drive it.
Once it's installed in its display I'll grab some pics, i think its being displayed next to a polestar.

Beautiful but unused museum car
I'm sure it will go on the odd outing, but once I've finished a couples of other I can swap and change.
I usually have 5 R's, but I may have more depending on how many they have.
Has volvo bought the car then or is it on loan to them
Well it's finished! Looking like a new car, steve has excelled himself, I've had a lot of work carried out by steve and always very impressed by his ability and thoroughness just a few things to do in beginning if jan.
Looks fantastic!
Wow, thats a beauty
before anyone picks up on it, the tailpipe has already been replaced.
