Apparently it is now standard on all cars.
Not very often we get something for free so just be gracious and smile. 
I checked my battery box lid as well and just like everyone else it wasn't closed properly and I had to sort the rubber grommets around the cables going in to allow it to close properly.
I would have thought the garage would notice that and sort it before it went to the customer but obviously not. 
Still really really impressed with the car and I'm sure anyone looking at me while driving must wonder why I have this stupid grin on my face all the time
I'm really impressed with the colour as well. I was a bit worried about it at first but really impressed now I've had a look in the flesh.
One thing I will agree with everyone else who has posted comments about the ECO/ stop start.
Initially I liked it but after half an hour it started to annoy me. I stopped to reverse into a space and it shut down before my hand touched the gear selector. Every time you stop no matter what for the thing cuts the engine. 
Very very frustrating

I too was a little concerned until I saw it in the metal,but any doubts were immediately dispelled....if we ever see the Sun again,it looks even better 
Btw it stays "clean" looking a lot longer than many other colours I have had,especially my old Java "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Never mind the sun. I'm waiting for the snow.
I moved house last year and we struggled to get home in the snow and that's one of the reasons I bought the car. If we don't get any my wife will wind me up for years about it.
The dealer was telling me when I collected the car that 2 more people have ordered the red since they saw my car at the garage.
Should have asked for commission
They did the protective coating on mine and he told me not to wash the car for a week. 
Don't think that'll be a problem.

Weirdly, when mine was in the dealer,the sales guy told me one of the guys in the showroom changed his order after seeing it...... 8) "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

The pictures don't do the colour justice. It's even nicer in the flesh. 8)
I didn't have to wait long compared to some of the comments on here but it felt like a year.
Now I can start fitting all the extras I have and have planned.
Now where are those wheels.

Hopefully I won't be testing your theory about cutting my self and not noticing against the car
RicoF- Thanks. Really loving the car and finding any excuse to go out and play. Was sitting outside with my daughter earlier watching a movie in it to try it out.
