(No doubt the system will censor the above. Simply insert a particularly offensive 4 letter word beginning with C instead of the **** above and you will get the name of the town.....)

The only way round this problem is to refer to the town as Scuny(Sunny)

To be really honest I am just not sure about the black plastic trim on your XC90. It was a few thousand too IIRC. Great number plate though.

I guess so, but always think of Scunny as a local term which others would not understand. It is a bit poor not being able to write the name of a UK town because it is regarded as offensive.

I believe that there is a place called ****t in the Shetlands. Wonder if that gets censored....

Answered my own question - yes it does....

This always puts a smile on my face when travelling up and down the A1 between Edinburgh and Newcastle.
I pass a sign post for Shilbottle and normally some bright spark has turned the first l into a t with a bit of black tape.

I like the added attitude that I think the styling kit gives it. I have always liked the look of silver XC70s, which I think my XC90 now has a touch of, but each to their own. I haven't seen any XC90s on the road or online with the kit, so not as common as muck!. Sadly the number plate is a "Photoshop" job.

Considering it is essentially just some plastic mouldings it does really change the appearance of the car. I haven't seen that many XC90s on the road, but I haven't seen a single one with the additional styling kit so absolutely it gives you the exclusivity.

I had exactly this sort of kit as standard on my XC70 which I really liked, I am just not so sure on the XC90, but maybe I will be converted in time, especially if I see one in the metal.
