Post V50 2.0i SE R DESIGN

Hi all, am new to this site.

I have just ordered a 2.0 petrol SE R Design with a few extra packs. One question I forgot to ask the dealer and maybe someone can help. Does the 2.0 come with a single chrome tail pipe with the R Design pack or is it hidden?

Cheers

Think it comes with a single chrome pipe, the T5 R Design has the twin pipes.
My 2.0d has no visual pipe out of the bumper.
What colour have you gone for ?

I went for Passion Red as I thought it looks good with the brushed metal trim of the R Design and it allowed me to get a few of the extras like electric seats, parking sensors and winter pack.

Mine should be turning up any day now, I went for V50 SE R design in metallic black with ipod interface, premium sound, active xenins and towbar (I like all my toys!)

It was the 3 year three servicing that got me interested in the first place.

I've got a D5 for three days test drive at the moment. Its a SE Lux and I'm pretty impressed- Looking to get the R Design Sport SE.
The ride is pretty firm on 17", I'm just wondering what it will be like on 18"

my only real complaints are the standard audio is pretty crap imo, it sounds really wooly and the car sits far too high considering it has a sports suspension of some sort especially when you compare how the BM M sports sit on the road.

they are really really well built though.

Always been a petrol fan and with fuel prices on the up over the next year or so makes more sense for the average mileage that it will do.

Agreed on that front especially if you dont do a big mileage, the wife has a 130 M Sport and only does 5k a year mileage and it doesn't cost that much to run really

How long is the wait from ordering the brand new vehicle to receiving it? I would have thought a turn around of 4-6 weeks?
