Re: Another white D4 FE

Great choice. The crystal white premium metallic is a great paint option

Re: STILL haven't seen......

I've now seen two others on the road in Dundee. One was blue the other white like mine. They look so much larger in the flesh. Loving mine and really glad I got the orange carpets. They have a wow factor on the inside.

Re: Smaller Wheels!

Alls well that ends well. Collected FE today. It's brilliant. Hallå to Helga. Really glad I could get the 20" wheels. They are beauties. Mental note - must avoid kerbing!

Re: Smaller Wheels!

Problem solved. The dealer has swapped the 19" wheels with 20's from their demonstrator that has done 700 miles. I really wanted those wheels so I am prepared to accept this option. Seems Volvo were not helpful and would not give a delivery date for new wheels. I collect the car on Monday. Gett...

Re: Another Crystal White One

The wheels are a personal thing. For me the 20" are cracking looking wheels and really compliment the look of the car. Volvo have made a right old mess with an inability to step up to meet the demand.

Re: Smaller Wheels!

Now know that the car does not have headlamp washers. Salesman to speak to his manager about the wheels hassle. I have advised that the 19" is a show stopper. Might has well have delivered a different colour since the look of the car is so different.

Re: Smaller Wheels!

Thanks all. No idea about the headlamp washers but that is not a big issue for me.
That exciting new car feeling is fading away and I haven't even got the car yet. Disappointed with Volvo. Pretty sure Audi would have handled this better!

Re: Smaller Wheels!

Thanks. The salesman came back and said that my order had been changed because Volvo had announced that only 19" wheels would be available due to shortage with 20". The car has been a runaway success and they ran out of capacity. Not sure if I believe it. I would have been happy to wait. I...
