Where abouts has it rubbed the bumper Ginagee? I will be putting my private plate on at some point. Just want to make sure there are no problems before hand.

It's taken the paint off behind the bottom centre of the rear number plate. About 10cm across, and 3mm down at the widest central exposed area. You can't see it when the number plate is attached, it's about 5mm up from the base of the plate.

That is pretty bad really. Hopefully it wont get any worse foe you. If it does i'd be having words with the dealer.

That's what I'm guessing it might be but honestly not sure. If they can't fix it I might reject it and ask for £6k off an R as a goodwill gesture  :grin:

Are you still within your rights to do that? I know my rejection was successful and i have a replacement on the way but i dealt with it straight after i picked it up.
