Chrome Details on the Grille of a Volvo XC60

Model: Volvo Xc60 MK 2 - Years 2017-2026
Part: Grille

In this video, we see a truly original way to customize the front grille of a Volvo XC60 by adding chrome accents to the small black trapezoidal elements on one half of the grille, outlined by the Volvo emblem. A perfect template is created using masking tape and a pencil, then cut precise shapes from chrome vinyl, which are used to wrap each individual element. Using a heat gun (or a powerful hairdryer), activate the adhesive to ensure a lasting bond. Only the right side of the chrome bar that cuts through the Volvo emblem is modified, achieving a very simple, original, and repeatable effect.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
