The most wanted accessory to finish your Volvo 140's or 240’s appearance is without a doubt the original reflective bumper striping, white colored reflecting stickers for the front bumper and red colored stickers for the rear bumper. The pre-moulded gaps are present in your bumper, however the stripe kit is not available anymore through any dealership worldwide! Now exclusively available from Volvogue (Shop-section).
These highly reflective 'conspicuity' striping's fit right in to the gentle grooves: that little horizontal indented/recessed area that runs through the middle of your front and rear 240 bumper. They give your car a nice Euro retro Volvo look, and adds a measure of safety: If your lights are off and you're on the side of the road or anywhere else on a pitch black night, the reflective bumper stripings will announce your presence as soon as a passing car's lights shine on your bumpers.

Specialist equipment, safety items, sport and trim items and accessories that give an additional touch of luxury can all be found in the Volvo 200 Series accessory range." ...

The striping kits are made of the best 3M™ materials available for the film, ink and varnish. They are produced under 3M™ MCS conditions (Matched Component System), therefore quality and durability is guaranteed. All together, this leads to the following advantages (from the 3M™ Product Bulletin):
According to the UN/ECE Regulation 104 (approved for usage in European traffic)
Up to eight years exterior durability
Retains 90% of its retro reflectivity when totally wet
Service range: -34 +93o Celsius (-29 +199o Fahrenheit)
All kits are finished with a special UV-protective coating in order to prevent the colors to fade over time. The striping reflects very bright for maximum night time visibility.
Apart from the safety argument to use these original 3M™ stripings, it gives your Volvo really the genuine and finishing touch. Also a great replacement for bumper striping which did not stand the test of time in terms of fading or damaging. The striping kits are easy to install, a clear installation instruction is included with delivery.
