Looks great mate. Enjoy it!

If you're anything like me you'll be itching to get out there and give it a proper clean and polish.

Quick tip for the alloys, get yourself some poor boys wheel sealant and put a few coats on once you've cleaned them. The just re apply every one or two months. Keeps the dirt off them and prevents the diamond cut finish from getting penetrated by the damp which causes White worm corrosion
cheers i`ll try that,wheels are quite easy to wash as they are flush unlike some other alloys with lots of nooks and crannies,car looks much better in the flesh and the sun (when it comes out ),and yes i`m dying to polish and seal it but it will have to wait for a sunny day.Just been out for a drive,i`m taking it easy for the first 1000km,i had to overtake a car,put foot down and off she goes like a rocket,its like holding onto a horse that has just bolted,great fun :laugh:

You're right the shadows will be nice and easy to keep clean like my monza II's. Important to seal them to keep the moisture out though and always give them a quick dry after washing them!!

In the meantime, good luck trying to take it easy :evil:

I notice there's no shark aerial, and I saw you have DAB, so that narrows things down to either sat nav or bluetooth which gives rise to the shark fin.

Yes i`ve got dab it must use same aerial as fm,which if its anything like the touran is in one of the windows,Dab works well.
