Yup, it's only the lip I need 

but here in belgium you don't find them second hand, and at Volvo they ask +500€ (625$) for unpainted rearlip !!

So I searched, and searched and searched on eBay...and after some time I found this R-design lip with bumper...So I bought it directly instead of waiting for the just the lip..

but I already have my smoothed rearbumper laying in the garage so I will use that one, with this lip. Then I can sell this bumper with the lip of my smoothed bumper 

I think the facelifting will be put aside for one year 

got some seriuous costs due the lowering 

Need to change:

- 4 new tyres (camber eats your tires )

- new rearstrutbar (still the oem one, and after 10years/270.000 KM it had his best time)

- enginemounts

- gearbox-oïl

- headlights (adjusting thingy broken. Will buy the facelift-headlights, but mount them with the pre-facelift bumper as I do not have the finances to do all those repairs AND facelifting the car)

- Wheelbearings. Rear ones are sounding and shaking horrific. will change those, and maybe change the front ones also (4 new bearings allround)

- Driveshaft-covers (due the lowering they teared...)

......

The list is endless but the €€€ are not. So I think I will put the V50 aside during winter, and drive around with the wife here car
