Yep - the chrome strip was an SE Lux feature in later years only.

Personally I'm not sure about it - like I was never sure about the chrome strip along the bottom of the boot-lid on my V40 T4, which again was an SE Lux. Sometimes I think it looks stylish, other times it looks like an afterthought...

Still, ianmd is absolutely correct: each to their own. The world would be very boring if we all liked exactly the same things!!

And your car looks lovely in that colour, Statusred!

Haha thanks!

My jobs this Summer - painted calipers, fitting an undertray, front discs + pads, braided brake lines and Michelin CrossClimate tyres (only if current ones fail the MoT!)

Yes, that's right, I also thought about spacing out the letters, but after seeing the outcome I prefer the standard Volvo letter spacing

Also have you got a link for the xenons you bought.

Never really thought about it to be honest... The friends who recommended me have had no problems yet but you do it at your own risk, I am resposible for my car if it stops working, but so far so good!
