Lower front spoiler/splitter

[Monkeysox]

That is interesting, the side bits on mine are identical and fully painted as if they were part of the spoiler kit, certainly no sign of ever being damaged

Maybe a previous owner decided to tidy them up? I can assure you the genuine spoiler is a one piece, wrap around affair....

That does sound likely, I am finding quite a few things on the car that have been made to look intended but are not quite right

[Monkeysox]

If I reply one more time I can post a picture, see what you all think

[jifflemon]

Pop some pictures up, we’ll identify what’s right or wrong

(Or drop me a PM, and I can host up the pics)

[Monkeysox]

Sorry peeps, bit of a noob here, tried pm but can't see any options for adding image?

[dragonflyjewels]

hit post reply, then just above the white box theres a row of icons - its the one like a box with the outline of mountains in it 3rd from right

[Monkeysox]

Yes, do that and get image tags

Yup, the picture needs to be hosted first.

Yep, broken end of spoiler, just as explained above.

It doesn't come in sections like some but all one piece, so those bits would need to go to fit a replacement.

That's perfect, thanks all for your help, I really thought they came in sections as both sides are identical, just a bit of a clever cover up job.

You're welcome - you'll always find help on here with any questions...

just for information the 'captive nuts' inside the front bumper will probably still be 'captive' but will rotate.

makes for an intersting arm bending to get a pair of mole grips on inside and sufficient purchase outside to undo them

[Optimistic]

Don't want to make a new topic for this, but does anyone have a front lip that is damaged/not in perfect shape, and would be willing to sell it to me? Thanks

Would anyone know to the sizes/dimensions of the original fixing bolts for the front spoiler captive nuts/threads on the body?

Try some of the already existing screws in the front bumper to confirm the size, if they don’t work then let me know and ill go crawl under mine and find out. I only had a couple originals so mine is held in with a medley of similar screws. Halfords can also be useful, i often buy and return small bolts/screws/fuses without any fuss, even if i rip them open in the carpark.

viewtopic.php?t=10927 has some tips and the prices they used to be about 20 years ago.


3273639 x2 nut
3121591 x2 screw
995131 x4 screw

Try your Volvo dealer, you never know if they used these fasteners on later models.

Thank you everyone! Hopefully later I will have some success with getting the spoiler fitted. Excellent help everyone!
