Will 960-V90 bumper fit 745 S90-V90

I was sitting in traffic behind a beautiful V90 and the rear bumper/cover really finishes of the car along with those double white tail lights.
Any one here have a V90 and 745 to compare?
Would be a nice up grade for the old BluBrick.....
Thanks
Bill

    Yes, it will fit. You will have to source the bumper, rebar, bumper mounts, and cushion. You will then have to remove the rear bumper shocks from your 7-series wagon, and install the aluminum bumper mounts from the 960 rear bumper. The 960 rear bumper will then bolt right up. You may have to open up a couple of the holes on the aluminum mount pads with a round file or Dremel in order to get it to fit right.

    The front end of a 960 will fit on a 7-series as well, but it involves a bit more work.

    I'm sure the basic dimensions are similar so the project can't be too bad.

    It won't be a "bolt-in" however. The newer 960 & S/V90 vehicles have a different bunper system. Rather that the "shock-absorber" mounting system on your 740 the newer system incorporates crushable material under the bumper pad and crumple zones in the frame with no shock-absorbers.

    Post a picture if you do it or find someone who has.

    I know this doesn't answer your question but it might be a ray of hope. I saw a 740 sedan for sale awhile back and it was advertised as having an S90 upgrade. Bumpers from the S90 were nicely installed on a 740. I thought it looked peretty good so, as I say, maybe there's hope.

      On the 900 site, today, somebody mentioned looking at turbobricks.com where a couple of guys had done just that. On the 900 site someone was taking a 93 960 and cosmetically upgrading it to S90 styling.
