Why the hell have they drilled the bumper, double sided 3M pads are so easy.

Default Front Number plate!

You have got me paranoid now about the front number plate! I have compared it with pictures of my previous XC90, it seems to be about half an inch higher? I shall investigate!

Thanks to all who pointed out that the front number plate was not fitted properly. I mentioned this to the dealer when the car went back for it's three month check-up and they agreed that it was not right. It was removed and the paintwork made good. They fitted a new number plate using double sided tape in the correct position. Thanks to Snows Volvo, Winchester! See photos.

Looks really good and glad it is sorted. Just keep an eye on the "new paint" for excess chipping and road rash - replacement paint is often not as durable as the original but if done properly should be ok.
