De-chromed XC60
 

As promised, I uploaded some photos of my de-chromed XC60. I know de-chroming isn't for everybody, but it adds character in my very own opinions. Hopefully this can help users out there to decide whether to get it done.

I have also added a black roof which borrowed the design from the XC40 rear quarter. Enjoy the photos.

Im also thinking to get ceramic coating done, will report back once I had it applied.

Congratulations!! Looks stunning, especially with the XC40-style black roof, which matched perfectly with the rest of the white. What happened to the rear engine-type and trim level emblems; I know you can order the car without them being stuck at the tear.

Any feedback on the ceremic coating type and applying company will be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy the car!!

Looks great. You need to get those wheels powder coated black next ;)

Oh yes, I requested the dealer to debadged the car to achieve a cleaner look. Or to hide the fact that this is a D4~ =)

I thought about that, but that might make the car too dark and too sporty... If this is a T5 or T6 it might suit better!

And as you said, the only opinion that matters is yours.

looks fab

I like the the de-chrome and the black roof but prefer the wheels exactly as they are - the dark areas match the black and the machined faces match the roof rails.
Top job.

I personally like my chrome bits. But I think the dechroming works well with the white paint,
Mine being a darker colour, I think looks better with the chrome.
I also like the black roof.
So yes I think it looks good.
Enjoy your car.

That looks smart and works well with the white body.

I’m curious though....how do you dechrome? Is it a vinyl carefully cut and applied? Or are the chrome parts removed and sprayed?

Have you also had the rear lights smoked?
