Howdy Mike,
Move your inquiry to the RWD section, list the year and model with the drop down on the posting page. And, post pictures if you can. Also, once you know what pieces you need, list as WTB in the classified section here on the Brickboard and other free classifieds. IPD, Volvospeed, Swedespeed, and others all offer classified sections.
The pieces you will need depends on the amount of damage. You will need to drop the bumper and remove the center section to get a close look at the impact damage. Things to look for:
Is the hood bent? Hinge area OK? Latch area OK?
Are the bumper mounting nuts ripped out of the subframe horns on either or both sides? Brackets bent? Are the bumper sections damaged? Do you need one, or all three bumper sections?
Are the subframe rails bent or kinked? Running between the rails is a box section. Is it twisted or peeled back?
Is the radiator header panel bent?
Where the center section and the fenders mate up; are they damaged? How much rust is there? (In fact, get the parts you need to repair any rust damage anywhere on the car.)
For an exploded diagram of the front end, go to http://volvoamazonpictures.se/. Navigate to the Documents section and then to Parts and Accessories. Get the Group 8a Body parts listing for your car. Now you have part numbers you can search. I have had some results just using Google with "Volvo" followed by the part number. In fact, those searches sometimes turn up some very educational information. Sometimes not. ;-)
Let us know if you have trouble finding a particular piece. If you can't find it used or new from the usual suspects, there is probably a work around or substitute or custom one of.
