Just ordered my Ed 30!!
« on: 20 June 2007, 21:22 »
New on here but have been observing for a wee while.

Gone for steel grey 5 door xenon parking sensors tinted glass and the winter pack - been told 16 weeks worst case senario but hoping to get it sooner!!!

Anyone recommend any extras that they wouldn't be without as I still have two weeks to add anything I want.

Away to stare at the broucher pics again!!!  :smiley:

The stealer seemed to brush over the highline and said that the only thing it did was give you a second trip computer - what does it really give you then?

Definately agree with that.  Perhaps a front center arm rest too?

My dealer did the same about highline... but it lets you do stuff like set the coming home lights and auto door lock when driving etc.  For £50 it is a must have.

Remind me whats in the winter pack again?

I only ask as the Edition 30 comes with heated seats anyway, and if you order Xenons, you get headlight washers too. You could save yourself some money that way

I didn't order the winter pack, as it seemed a lot to pay for heated windscreen washers when the rest of the stuff was coming anyway with my other options. I've since found also that mine also has the low washer fluid sensor warning light, which is described as part of the winter pack

Apart from that, highline computer is a no brainer at £45-50...gives you more control over the settings for lights and central locking (stuff that would normally involve a dealer trip)

The armrest is also useful - I ordered that with ipod preparation

oh, don't get cruise control from the factory at £270

If you want it, get it added at the dealer any time - only £150 all in for parts and fitting that way - quirk of the ordering system!!

Cruise is great, and I wouldn't be without it now on long motorway journeys :)

good good  :cool:

Which dealer are you using? I only ask as my dealer forgot to update my order for one of my options after I went back and changed it - mine then arrived without the multi-function wheel

Make sure you get confirmation from them that they've changed your spec  :grin:
