Inscription front grille on a R-Design - Page 2

Afraid not. Dealer basically said "we're checking, we'll let you know if it's possible but if you don't her back from us assume not", and I didn't hear back so I assumed not. If anyone discovers otherwise for cars with the front camera shout me.

There seems to be another solution, a cover:

I have also seen it executed in matte.

For those wondering what it would look like, my dealer sent me pictures of my car after the grille was installed. Obviously some love the normal R-Design grille, but I love this and can't wait to get it :-)

Looks nice. Having the car in that silver lessens the effect of the silver wing mirrors on R-designs though, was that your intention? Personally I wasn't a fan of the different-coloured mirrors anyway. I do wish it as possible/easier to do this and retain the 360 camera but if it has to be one or the other then I've got to go with the camera as I just love it. Looking good though.

Thanks.

I was originally going to go for Bright Silver, then after a visit to a local Volvo dealership, I fell in love with the Electric Silver which I chose in the end.

Yes, I did think about the wing mirrors in looking at the silver colour, I also thought the silver grille would look better with silver too.

I also wish it was easy to do a grille swap if you had the 360 camera but in truth I couldn't justify to myself the extra expense of the 360 when I was already going for Digital TV and the media server which is a similar cost to the Xenium pack, so I happily settled for just the rear park camera.
