Default Styling Kit

Hi I have recently had a styling kit fitted to my D4 from Volvo and I’m not 100% happy with the finish on the back and side deflectors. Has anybody here got the kit fitted that can share some close up pictures as mine doesn’t fit flush to the body of the car. I am not sure if it’s meant to be like this or not.

Thanks

I don’t have pictures but fitted mine myself and the side and rear deflectors do fit flush to the body as they have double sided tape that sticks to the body of the car.

I can see the tape but that seems to be causing it not to be flush.All 4 deflectors are like below, is yours not like this? I am going back to the dealer this week because I’m not happy with how it fits.

No, they’re not fitted properly at all, the tape should stick to the body. I suspect they haven’t cleaned the surface with ipa then they haven’t held it in the correct position before drilling the holes and riveting them on before removing the tape.
