You can buy it from your local volvo dealer, but I seem to recall someone else wanting to do it about 6 months ago and it was VERY expensive stuff - of course that's if you want to do it the "proper" way - I'm sure there are other automotive adhesive strips out there that will look just as nice. Check out your local motor factors I guess?

red stripes
Hi Kristy
my advive is to go to the Volvodealer and get the stripes from them.
But beware I once had to the same stripes in one package.
But they have to be one for the left- and one for the rightside of the bumper.
They are curved cut to follow the curve from the bumper.
So buying a straight one from a roll will probably not good work during
fixing on the bumper.
Good luck

just look in your garden shed if you find some insulation tape in red, or any other colour you desire. That way you spare some costs, if you do it good and have good tape, its just as good, and the advantage is you donot waist a lot of money if you change your mind.
Maybe you can get some reflecting tape in the shop, thats even cooler than the original one.
