Picked up this afternoon after almost 2 hours in the dealership signing the paper work, arguing about whether or not the iPod lead is free (only on the Golf apparently - yeah - pull the other one) and getting the right plates put on it.
But pleased to say it's even better than I remember from the test drive and I can't quite believe it's mine!
Apologies for the dodgy photo but as I appear to live in the only part of the country where it's currently raining, I haven't yet brought myself to take it anywhere in the countryside for fear of getting get it muddy.

I'll post some proper pics after its first wash!
Props to all the SC members for keeping me entertained & informed over the last 8 weeks (I'd have been £18 worse off if it wasn't for you all). Cheers!

Thanks everyone. I really am properly chuffed.
It's 6am on a Saturday, I've no reason to be up but I can't sleep; no idea why.... just need to find my car keys...

Certainly not its first wash (far from it), but its first full clean - interior, wash, dry, clay, pre-wax cleanse and wax.
Thanks to Taryn & Jim from autoperfection for their advice and supplying some of the cleaning materials.
6 hours overall, stiff arms and back but I think it paid off - unfortunately the paint already has very slight swirls thanks to the dealer toe-rag who ran it through a car wash before I collected it.
Quite a lot of noise in these pics as it was 9:30 pm by the time I finished waxing (man, how my Friday nights have changed...)
Still *really* pleased with it, starting to open it up now that it's passed 650 miles - already thinking about the Revo treatment... Lurve the way the roof tapers towards the back - looks brilliant from above.
Only niggles for me are the stuttering iPod playback and the dinky glove box. Other than that, I'm loving it.
