- Genuine Volvo Front & Rear Reversing Cameras fitted myself.
Hardest task was feeding the camera cables into the cabin through the bulkhead rubbers already occupied with other cables.
- Whilst the centre console was out I replaced the black plastic cupholder roller blind cover with a mesh aluminium one to match the dash trim.
- Then added 2 additional USB sockets. One in the cupholder across from the 12V socket and the 2nd one down next to the drivers leg on the tunnel console.
- And finally replaced the gear shifter & gaiter with an R-Design set to match the R-Design steering wheel with paddleshifters and pedals.
- Installed the cargo hooks and organiser to the boot.
Next jobs still on the list: - Fit the 2nd hand Volvo tailgate spoiler.
- Fit the CROSS COUNTRY decal to the tailgate.
- Fit stainless steel rear bumper guard trim.
- Replace the corroded D4 AWD badges with new style ones.
- Fit the Volvo aluminium engine undershield.
- Tweak around with the interior lighting. Have got 4000k LED bulbs fitted which are just a bit too bright/harsh for the interior. Need to get to a 3-3500k softer colouring.
- Debate whether to replace the 18" Pan alloys with a newly acquired set of 19" Erakir alloys in black/silver.
Do I get all-season tyres for these as I have at the mo' or go back to rotating & storing a set of winter & summer tyres twice a year?
- Perhaps black out the V O L V O panel on the tailgate below the glass?
- Get the metal window trim polished to remove the milkiness from previous owner using TFR at cheap car washes.
- Polestar Optimisation!
