Default SE R-Design

I'm going to replace my aged V40 with a V50 either an SE R-Design or an SE Lux. Has anyone got photos of an R Design that they can post? I want to see what these matt silver door mirrors look like.

Cheers

See below. Weather not great so a couple of quick snaps. I was unsure about the mirrors when I ordered but actually now very pleased. The R-design body kit also makes the make much more sporty looking than the standard in my opinion.

I considered the SE R-Design but in the end didn't think the extra kit was worth the cost of the SE over the standard R-Design so instead I added a few options such as leather, sunroof etc.

Thanks for those. Difficult to tell what colour yours is. We run a democratic household here and I have two daughters and a wife to convince. All contributions welcomed.

Thanks

Car is black sapphire metallic, and though time consuming to clean, I'm very pleased with it!

Why not look at the Volvo website aswell.
I can't choose between R design SE or standard or the SE Lux.

Its going to have to be Geartronic because the lease cost is £50 pm less than the manual

I had a similar choice, but for me the manual D5 was cheaper monthly than the geartronic.

Residuals have a big impact on lease costs and sometimes the higher specced car can actualy be cheaper. In my circumstances the standard R-Design with a few options was definately the best choice, but whatever you end up with, I'm sure you'll like it.

Cos the pictures of the R-Design are pretty poor and don't really give a good impression.
