V70r bumper on galactic back order?! I just looked in the Volvo order database and they say no go?

[RobT5.]

Guess it had to happen sooner or later.

Anyone know what else is on galatic back order?
"motion for galatic back order thread?"

V70R bumper
850 sun roof trim

When I called about year and half ago they said there were only 3 70 sunroof trims availible and they were not in the US.

Gen 1 Cars: "R" interior door panels are either out of stock (for good?) or very constrained. I purchased the last "set" in tan for my wife's '99 GLT. I can't get a center speaker grill for my car (2000 VR), and bottom front seat covers are also no longer available. John at Boston Volvo informed me that interior replacement parts are usuallly the first to be axed. I'm surprised that "R" bumper covers are no longer available. -Wm.

What do you guys make of this:

http://www.ebay.com/...6#ht_2021wt_905

I was just browsing... if that image is actually what they are selling... is that not "close" to a R looking bumper.... I couldn't really tell... is that the normal s70 bumper?

That is just a regular s/v 70 series bumper. The picture might look deceiving because they have the lower grill inserts pictured in front of it.

It's a normal one, as the advertisement specifies. The weird things in the front are the grill inserts laid in front of it, making it a very poor picture.

Edit: dammit, I should have refreshed the page.

[D s50r]

Well idreally like to kno if this is true or not I guess I'll just call parts support Monday

I got a refresh on mine too in November, color matched as well

[D s50r]

Very limited supply of the painted bumpers and zero primered bumpers available

If you guys have a good relationship with your dealer, and they can't get a difficult item, you can ask them if they'll call parts help desk option 2. The help desk can check inventories in ALL markets. It would be advised to not get in a hurry with this, and most parts guys will groan at the thought of calling due the the insane wait time.

[rj240]

Do you have a PN? I'll check for you...

Or what color V70R bumper were you inquiring about?

Insane wait time? I call at least once a day and the longest I ever wait is 2 mins...

[D s50r]

Ditto on the 2 min wait time I just really want a primer gray v70r bumper due t my car color not coming in an r model so it would be easier to paint when it's primer already

[volvoskiah]

I may have 2 available, one in black other in silver...

[JRL]

Depends on the color
As for the other trim parts, yep, most are now discontinued
Within the last couple of years I bought the "last set" of Dynaudio speakers, the last center speaker wiring harness,
Dolby Processors and those harnesses have been N/A for a while now.
Two years ago I bought an aluminum center console trim piece, it took me 2 days, last year the same piece took me 6 months!!! to get and I'm sure now it will be on a permanent back order
