HELP..In search of an S60 Front model number Plate!!

Does anyone know where I may obtain the sleek European black plate that
Volvo advertises all there cars with??
In the front of the car.

You know, the one in all the commercials and brochures... I am looking for
one for my S60.
I have queried both Volvo online via email and thru my local dealer. Neither
has a clue where I can get one.

any help appreciated !!

Probably because number plates are issued by your state/county licencing
authority.

Ask them.

 

I got a few off of eBay... just do a search on "European license plates".
There are a number of different kinds.

Some states like Pennsylvania don't issue front license plates. We can
use anything or nothing.

 

What is European style - my British plates are white background on the
front and yellow at the back with black numbers? I don't think I have
seen black plates in Europe (France, Germany, Belgium, Spain.

 

It is just the thinner, longer plate that has "S 60" in white factory
letters, printed on black background.
I say "European style, because it is the size of a typical "European" front
plate, thin and long. not like the standard squared shape of a reg US plate.
Also, it isn't a "real" license plate, only a vanity plate, used by volvo
for advertising.
It is seen in all there brochures, commerials, etc.. I suppose I could make
one, but I am sure they are out there somewhere.

thanks

 

Interestingly, I have a picture of an S70 on my desktop that shows a
front view of the car in the same colour as my V70. It shows the type
of plate that you want (with S70 on it of course) but it shows the plate
in a recess on the front bumper that doesn't exist on the real car...
if you look closely, you can see that "plate" is "photoshopped" on.

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
