What accessories have you found for your XC40?

[DarrenF]

After a long long 5 month wait I am picking up my car on the 30th (next week) - after reading through this forum I have purchased the matte screen protector (thanks to the people that suggested it) but what else do you recommend for the car?

I had originally ordered mud flaps but after seeing them on a car decided against it. Loads of options on the accessories pages but what have you found worth buying?

I’ve bought and fitted the Swedish Flag (available on First Editions only). At £12, it’s cheap and looks great.

I bought these flags from Amazon. Two flags for £9.99. A bit OTT but they look good !!

I've just used the one flag on the drivers side, and have a spare.

The only other item I've bought is, again from Amazon, a protective cover for the back seat as my dog is sometimes muddy !

Here's the one I bought:

From watching the reviews always liked the look of the little flag. Any idea if there is a place for the flag on the bonnet on new version?

I am going to order them now! Thanks

Was that £12 from the dealer? Did you have a place marked for the flag on the car?

The flags on the Volvo accessories site have a downloadable "instruction" leaflet that gives a dimension from the edge of the bonnet. The cheaper versions I bought from Amazon come with the same instruction.

But really you can stick them where you like. There isn't a specific indentation in the bonnet; they are, after all, just stickers, albeit ones made of silicone.

The screen protector works very well indeed, never a fingerprint in sight. The mudflaps are subjective I guess.I started without them but living in a rural area soon put a set on after a few weeks and they do stop a lot of the muck cascading down the sides and the area underneath the tailgate Only other addition so far is a set of chrome wheel nut covers to replace the rather drab grey ones which were fitted. Made a nice difference to the look of the wheels and only cost about £15 in total from volvopartsshop.com.

As said, the flag comes with instructions and measurements as to where to put it (35mm from the edge of the bonnet if memory serves). I got a genuine one from ‘Volvo Parts Shop’. You have to clean the surface with alcohol to get rid of any contamination and apply. Looks very good and discreet. Just looked and they are £12.50.

I bought a smart phone that could take advantage of the wireless charger.
Sunglasses holder.
Mud flaps.
Screen protector.
Also something that looks like giant plastic tweezers to pull off the wheel nut covers.
