Thank you Damo7, it's got Performance Pack, Discover Nav, Leather, Santiagos (obviously), Keyless Entry, Rear view camera, ACC and Dynaudio. Good god, that looks like a lot of options now I've written it down, but it was in the showroom about to be registered, so, well you know....

Night Blue, really like the colour, I had my heart set on a tornado red, but this looks stunning in the flesh

Nice colour, i almost bought a R in that colour, quite rare as well. I like how the leather really matches this colour with the doors open and looking from the outside.

Picked up my new toy on Monday, it's done nothing but rain and howl a gale ever since..
5 door GTD, White, Pano sunroof - rest is standard.
I've changed from a 2006 Seat Altea (91k miles) - so this is such a pleasant change. It feels so solid on the road, the Seat has a 140 sport engine, but this car is a big step up. Sport mode is still putting a big grin on my face, but am also pleased that Eco mode can still keep my mpg near to the Seat if needs be.

I was a sponge and 1 bucket man until I had the prospect of a new car so have done all my research and ordered Poorboy's White Diamond Glaze, Poorboy's Natty's White Paste Wax, Poorboy's Quick Detailer Plus & I already have a load of Autoglym shampoo conditioner.. Alas they probably won't arrive till after Easter. I'll be sure to post another couple of photos in proper daylight once it's been cleaned up.

The dealer threw on mudflaps for me - they look quite understated (and not visible in this photo). I've also to drop the car back to the garage after Easter to get a removable towbar fitted, am assured it's invisible and no cutting will be done (possibly a new rear diffuser with a we door).

Not St Anne's - I rent a space beside McHughs - the porche driver who has the space next to me loves his motor too - less risk there :-)

The space is wild tight - I have to do a 3 point turn through concrete bollards to reverse into it. Still safer than parking in some of the public car parks nearby!
