Hi, first time driving a Volvo. We have taken out an XC40 on lease. It arrived on Monday - love it so far! It’s the 2021 model - but I’m gutted to find out it no longer has the redesign badge on the back & inscriped on the side! I thought they were great features!
We’ve been waiting for our lease company to get back to us re GAP insurance- they haven’t yet & we are very keen to get this in place. Can anybody recommend a a GAP insurance company to use? Thanks
Where are the badges gone?

I removed all rear badges apart for the word Volvo on my XC40, it looks a lot better to me.
I removed the RDesign and AWD square badges and the T4 and XC40 lettering.
As far as GAP insurance is concerned make sure you really need it, I didn't bother. Most, if not all, normal insurance cover for the full replacement value, at least in the first year.

For our last few cars we have used ALA.co.uk for the gap insurance they have been fantastic and are recommended by Which and Auto Express. A lot cheaper than anything the dealer can offer and there is a link on this forum. Try the discount code MSE25 this got me a 25% discount on the premium.

Interesting article from the Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert website about GAP insurance:

I appreciate people's circumstances differ. I bought my car outright for cash so didn't feel the need to buy GAP. If you loan to buy then obviously your circumstances are very different.

Another vote for gapinsurance.co.uk great bunch of guys to deal with. When I traded in my XC60 and bought my XC40 I called them and was suprised to discover that they could refund £70 from my old policy, and then gave me a loyalty discount on the new policy. All told it came in at just over £80 for three years return to invoice. A no brainer at that price. Dealer quoted £399.

Hi
I had the same problem, missed the nice badging, some people don't like them. So what to do! I bought some from Ebay and Ali Express and stuck them on myself, sorted. Also added wind deflectors to stop rain dripping on the inside of car.
Cheers
