Cheers. So the sport refers to a bit of fake aluminium trim and possibly the rear wing.........thats classic lol

Disappointing but true - Volvo have let their consumer performance brand drift away from them. They've gone from the R, which had differentiated performance attainable by the man in the street, to the Sport and R-Design models which had more cosmetic changes and less sporting ability, to the Polestars which are really just poster cars. Nothing you could buy today that has the involvement or the special feel of the R range. That's why I was sad to sell my P2 V70R and step into an R-Design!

Is there any way you can tell if car is really a sport version? My car has 17" wheels (no idea what they are called) and definitely isn't lowered (in fact it reminds me of MRP's car before he lowered it), yet unbelievably it says "model: s60 sport" on the V5???

If you open the bonnet and look at the chassis plate on the o/s wing, there you will see lots of letters and numbers. Cant remember which, but two of the numbers refer to which type of spring your car has.
The long series of letters and numbers in the bottom right corner is what you need to refer to. after 1-, in the second column.

Its the chassis code in column 'H'.

Take that to Volvo dealer parts dept' and they can tell you whats fitted on your car.
