Now I got news today that my car is at the dealer there just waiting for the number plate and a place in de workshop to check everything before I can pick it up. I'm hoping by the end of next week I can pick it up

Looks like we'll be getting lots of pictures soon then. A transportation order has been raised for mine yesterday to get it from the port to dealer. Should be some time next week!

Getting close now then - soon have a pickup date and then you can count number of sleeps until collection!

If I'm been honest waiting since begin of December as drove me crazy

Not sure I could wait that long - would probably have gone elsewhere. On the other hand that 1.4 engine is something special and most of my alternatives were much slower with less torque/power.

I could not have waited any longer! The 2 weeks from order to collection felt like a lifetime! Still sounds like everyone should have theirs soon! Just given mine its first wash, love the monsoon grey!

2 weeks! Mine will be around 10 weeks. How are you finding the engine - have you pushed it yet or are you running it in?

Engine is great, obviously not as powerful as my VXR but so much smoother while still being quick.

I'll upload some pics now, only got 1 of the outside for now as the sun went in and took a couple of the infotainment system.

Another question - do the door card have any cloth material on or are they entirely plastic - in the area where you would rest your elbow?

There's some cloth, I'll take a pic if Im out later.

Here's some pics after today wash, used G3 detox to remove showroom wax, AG super resin polish and finished with AG HD Wax. Wheels cleaned a sealed, glass polished just plastic, rubber and tyres left to do if it brightens up again.

So glad I went for Monsoon Grey - looks superb!
