Hm.............."Interesting!"
How to make a box look more like a box?? Personally I think it does nothing for the car. The standard car looks better. The fog lights look like they were fitted as an afterthought. It reminds ne of the one I have seen fitted to some P2 S60's. As we call somewhat 'Marmite'. You either love it or hate it.

Those P2 S60 factory kits go for huge bucks. My Denver friend Brett Borders has one on his R.
I need to dig up the factory 740 kit photos I have around here somewhere. Another rare factory body kit.

Why don't I see one for the first gen XC60? Oh yes. They don't fit. Oh, how about a V60, V90 they fit surely. Nope.
Explains why there are no newer pictures...............and why I won't buy a newer Volvo. They all fail the golf bag test with the rear seats up.

Not like the C-6 and onward generation of Corvettes which I believe come with a white “Titleist” ball cap……..and have no room for a set of clubs ironically.abscate wrote: 01 Aug 2026, 17:12 It was a conscious decision fitting the new Volvo marketing campaign
