On a slightly different note, they did say they will source a small rubber Swedish flag for me!

Well that's a result in itself!

Update. Dealer has told me VCUK have suggested accessories to value of £300, fairly close to what I was expecting, so I have opted for mudflaps front and rear and rubber interior floor mats, totaling £270, my dealer then said he will also throw in the rubber boot lining at a cost of £155, aswell as working to get the little Swedish flag. So all in all I'm quite happy with the result, and I must say my dealer has been very helpful with the situation!

“Modern headlights 'blinding drivers'

Advancing technology may light up the road ahead but it dazzles other drivers, an RAC survey suggests.

RAC says new headlights 'blinding drivers'”


Maybe its the lack of shadowing?

Or maybe this would encourage Volvo to reprogram our cars to have the shadow function :-)
