From the other side of the pond. 200

Don't you find it kind of funny the number of Brick owners who want their vehicles to look like other models sold in other parts of the world. I for one envy some of the trim parts you have in the U.S.A. and Canada, and I regularly see mention of Euro parts, headlights and such wanted for your vehicles.

You should realise just how lucky you are over there with so many different companies dealing in parts, original and after market. Here it is Volvo and maybe two others for standard stuff but none that I know of for performance / after market stuff.

As the price of scrap metal here is high at present, and old Volvos are heavy cars, our scrap yards / breakers (I guess you call them 'pick and pull') don't keep old Volvos for long. They get crushed and shredded quite quickly now.
