Just a quick question, would a 2008 front number from a V70 be a straight swap onto a 2012 XC70, would it just be a case of swapping all parts across?

Thanks!

The design of the XC70 front bumper is significantly different and makes allowance for the wheel arch extensions. The grille is different too.

The entire assembly might pick up the same mounting points on both cars, but the front wheel arch extensions would have nothing to meet up with. It would all look very odd and might be unsafe.
