I just made sure all the components were firm, in place.. checked all the electronics and looked for any obvious small dents/scratches.. some of which the dealer may have hidden and won't become noticeable for a few days. This happened around my petrol cap.

Make sure they supply you with both of the MDI cables (USB and Iphone) without charging extra!

One thing not mentioned and its a must. I have had 2 new cars in the past and when I got home a neighbour said nice car but did you know one of your brake lights is not working. pretty embarrassing really. The other car had a rear bulb missing. Quick fix I know but just check all lights are working before you drive away - faulty lights are more common than you think.

Yes lights work fine I have checked that. One question though, there is like a slight rattling noise coming from the front. Sounds like its coming from around the rear view mirror. Like plastic rattling, held the mirror etc and that didn't stop it so not sure if it could be the wiper plades vibrating ? Any thoughts?

Make sure the rear view mirror is big enough to accommodate the smile on your face.

Nope not the sunglasses holder. Haha yeh I haven't stoped smiling since I got it. All ready had no end of people stare at me . Had a Renault megane rs try and race me today, but I just ignored it. Audi s3 wanted to race me 5 mins after leaving dealer with it. Draws a lot of attention and I just can't help but have a huge grin on my face when they are looking in
