Wow, $800 for a cracked lense. Yes, the bumper cover does need to come off. Sounds like the dealer replaced the entire headlight, not just the lense. If you had a VW or Audi, you would find that bumper removal is SOP for any maintenance, including moving the radiator out of the way. It takes them 30 minutes to prep the car for service and another 30 to put it back together.

I would find a place that will cover the lenses with that 3M protective tape. And if the fog light lenses are still clear, do them also.

You can also go visit www.v70R.com They lost a lot of members when the "R" went out of production, but there are still a lot of good tips available.
