Brand new Volans!!! Well, nearly... :)

Did you give them a Volvo paint code to work to r is that one "off the shelf"?

Oh yes and where did you get your centre caps from?

Well, a lot of paintshops just scan the paint and match accordingly these days...but in this case it was one of their standard anthracites but it is so close to the original that it doesn't matter. They would have coloured them any colour at all. The caps were on the car when I got it - but I think they are XC90 or similar. They do seem to crop up on Ebay quite a lot though.

Looking good Phil, Lepson's certainly do make a great job of it! Had mine done by them 4 years ago and still loving the finish today.

One thing to remember it's not an 850R without Volan's so get those nasty thoughts about the Titans out of your head

Oh you are right of course but the Titties can look good on an R:

Yes they do and they are still a lovely wheel, but not quite as good as the Volan's

Are all the new style center caps just badges that stick on?
I got some for mine and they stick out on the originals (yes i did remove the old badge first), thought i must have got the wrong size or something but from looking at other peoples it looks like my original center caps are different and that they are the problem.

The original centre cap badges are slightly narrower than the updated badges.

Think i need the actual center caps not just the badges.

I didn't realise you could just get the badges on their own.... lol

Tbh the actual cap part is different anyway, I think they're more recessed which is why they get away with the thicker badges..

Can you actually get center caps with the new style logo on them?
I thought they were all just stick on badges?? lol

All five of mine are caps complete with badges from Volvo.

How much were they? Do they come in different sizes, think i need 63mm?

I can't remember exactly, don't think they were too dear. Less than £10.00 each I think... Just ask for a set from an XC90 or facelift phase II 05my on V70 and they should fit. Either that or I shall see if there is a part number on the wheel centre in my spare wheel, easier to remove .

nom nom they look awesome

T5R Titans, 850R Volans and V70R classic Comets, they all look good, but keep them on the correct cars, otherwise it is sacriledge lol.
