Default The plunge to S60

I made the plunge to 2012 S60 and am new to this forum.


Used lease car with 30K. Very good appearance and driving.


It is a trade up from 1991 Volvo 940 SE. Yes, 1991, with 210,000. Barely broken in. Still drives nice but wife wants better MPG and no worries of reliability. Saw it during service at dealer and had to have it?


Q:
Are there body colored door side bumper moldings available?
Is the cabin air filter really that hard to replace?

why not just paint the side trim? You'd want to use some flexible paint, ie with the additives used for bumper/plastic trim but should work.

on the cabin filter, here's a vid from IPD

Thanks for reply


Not the lower side panels. I meant mid door bumpers for parking/lot damage protection.
I found some chrome-ish ones, but though there would be something "Volvo".
I bought the great pumpkin (copper color) and thought someone has gone there.

I found the vid on you tube and another S60 specific, but is it that hard or does it just look that way.
I have other cars that you open the door catch and remove and replace the filter. Just hoping it would be user friendly
