Default XC60 R-design Saville Grey (Aus Spec) - bumper and nav

Hi All

Just took delivery of my MY12 D5 Saville Grey RDesign with the works (sunroof, heated seats, front sensors)

Loving it so far, but a few questions for y'all:

1. Bumpers are not body coloured?? Is this a Saville Grey characteristic where the lower bumper and the rear bumper (where the red reflectors are embedded) the normal grey plastic?? I thought that was an R-design feature to have body coloured bumpers??

2. Nav - Street name on voice directions; Mine does not seem to say "Turn RIght on Doncaster Road" even though my street name option is turned on

3. Sun-roof: Wow - seems to suffer from wind buffeting - need to test a bit more here, but seemed quite unusual

Thoughts on above most welcome

seems to me bumpers should definitely be body coloured. see this example on UK used site:

Cheers - you can't actually tell from those pics whether the bumpers are painted body coloured as the matt plastic is very close to the grey (as is mine), have found a few pics on line of black and grey R-designs which appear to be non painted bumpers as the reflections aren't there.

Rather dodgy of Volvo and will call them on Monday as they certainly used to advertise the R-design as having body coloured bumpers, but when I went onto the site today, it is no longer a point on the r-designs

regarding the roof are you using the comfort position? ( see manual )
