Are they constant throughout all models? Only reason i ask is this - I am going to have a bubble sticker made to replace mine, identicle in makeup to it, but with my own wording as a personal subtle mod, but wondered if they are constant, when i get it done, would anyone be interested in the price for theirs, or maybe a batch saying VPCUK.ORG?

Got to get it of, measured and redrawn on computer yet, then priced - but I like subtle mods like that, so if anyone else does, i will post some pics and prices when i get it done.

Cheers

Depending on year, there are different steering wheel badges entirely. Mine being a 2001 has the rectangular black Volvo badge, but later models have the round blue Volvo badge.

I like that latter, but wouldn't mind a rectangular blue Volvo badge rather than black. So I'd be interested in the results and prices mate...

Probably a lot cheaper than messing around with steering wheels, and more importantly, airbags...

Will prise mine off over the weekend and get it all drawn up at work next week - i'll then get one made and get some pics so you can see the quality etc. I'll find out minimums etc, but will be doing mine as a one off as its saying VICTOR as thats what i call it - but will do some with VOLVO with blue background and embossed style wording aswell and get the prices.

Just a simple change, that i think looks good, plus it will fit into the existing shape of the rectangular shaped space - hopefully - as long as they do what they say they do, custom shapes :)

Right......

Before I gave all the details, I wanted to get a one off made to test the quality and make sure my measurements and drawing were upto scratch.

Finally got the one off (well they sent me 3) this morning, and here are some pics, let me know what you think - to be honest, i think the quality is excellent, only downside is, wont stick as securely as i'd like, so i'm going to tack mine with super glue along the veins on the steering wheel.......

Now, prices. Minimum order is 100, which can be split however we like - and they come in at £63.00 + £5.50 Delivery - which to be honest, there probably arent 100 people that want them, but realistically, i would have payed a bit to get mine anyway, so i dont really think it is a lot, even if you end up paying a little more each to even it out, then splitting the badges??

Anyway, there's the pics, and there's the prices peeps, i think its a nice little/cheap personal mod :)

Looks good. Those badges in your pictures look bigger than the one on mine though. Can you give dimensions so that we can all check ours?

I'd like a blue Volvo one to replace my black one assuming the size is right, so there's one order!
