Swedish dealer number plate surround

[jinkster]

Has anyone managed to find a number plate surround from a Swedish Volvo dealer?

I think the number plate surrounds finish the car off nicely.

Have you tried just emailing a swedish dealer and asking if they will post you some?

Time to try the owners clubs then.

Something like this.

The one I showed is on Amazon but is sized for US number plates, similarish height to UK plates but not as wide. Though UK plates don't have to be the full width providing the number can be displayed using legal spacing and font size plus all the other bits and bobs.

Plain Swedish plate surrounds are available freely from such as Biltema and Mekonomen, think Swedish Halfords sort of. But you'll need to either make a road trip or get someone local to buy them and send them on. I tend to agree that I like the surround, finishes things off, but prefer plain even the Biltema fake carbon fibre ones.

If a dealer ad is so vital for some odd reason. :shrug:

Seem to recall there is someone who will make up personalised versions similar to this. This one is for EU plates, size??

Edit Looked in Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1509125194/made-in...

Any good?



Edited to add, that's for plate size 520mm x 111mm ie = std uk size

Hi, I have a pair of plate surrounds that I bought from the Volvo dealer in Ystad a couple of years ago, on my last road trip.

Happy to sell them to you if interested.

Thanks
Chris

Funny enough. Today I fitted some number plate holders. I managed to get a friend in Sweden to send me 2 of them from Bilia.se
