Default Broken Side Skirts

Hey everyone,


I'm new to this forum and am excited to start getting help with my '95 Volvo 850R! Unfortunately, in a recent snow storm I popped up onto a curb on the Driver's Side Front of my car. The wheel made it over and got stuck when it hit the side skirt.. as a result there is damage to that part of the skirt where it connects to the wheel cover. Is it easy to replace the very bottom part of the side skirts on these cars?


If it is possible, any tips on this? Looking forward to hearing your responses...

Yes, they are a plastic add on.

May be tough to find a compatible side skirt, Volvo didn't make an 850R in 1995

I'm pretty sure they just screw on. There are holes under it and maybe 5 screws. I would guess that they are all the same from 850 to 850. Just need to find a matching color from the paint code.
