Not Another Magnetic...

[SteveS]

Yup. Picked mine up this morning so here's a couple of fairly poor pics. On first inspection everything looks pretty straight. Will write up something more substantial once i've stopped shaking... ;)

First "mod" was done yesterday...thought I'd better...
Sto-n-Sho fitted. Took about 15 minutes in total and the included instructions covered fitting the bracket "reversed". Two holes required drilling.
Pros - I like the look of it and prefer the clean look of the bumper with no plate.
Cons - the dimples on the bumper catch the light and are noticeable, however the real kicker was that I took a hit from a stone on the way home and now have a chip that would have been prevented by fitting a plate in the correct location :doh:


13/04/2016 Update!
So, gave the car a bit of a Mandering. Pretty happy with the way its been delivered. It's a shame we need to be grateful when a new car is delivered in "new" condition but I have no complaints about this aspect of the process.

Panel Alignments - seems to be good. Rear deck lid panel slightly proud at one side but i'm changing that myself so not worried. Deck lid not fouling bumper.
F5 SD card for Maps - F5 in place...refreshing. ;)
Rear Window alignment / not shaking - seems good and noticed no shake!
Bonnet Pinch - nope.
Under-spray in the correct places - not checked this yet but doubtful.
Wire Loom fix input (Heat resistor on loom) - not checked yet, will do this weekend.
Tyre pressures - good.
'Delivery Mileage' - 17.6.
Plates put on as you asked - no plate on front as requested. They fitted the rear mount however which may be coming off.
Window sticker - gone, but going by state of Ku Klux Kar Kover in boot i'm ok printing my own.
Paint swirls/Spiderwebs - they cleaned it but it looks decent.
Scratches or marks on anything - a couple of small "dark patches" on plastic which i'd assume to be cleaning materials.
Correct 'extras' added to the car - yeah.
Correct price - got stuffed for the tax increase.
Spare Tyre kit in place in the boot - yes it is.
Two keys with the car - two fobs, one key and two blades to put in fobs myself!
Gear shifter doesn't make 'noises' - only when combined with right-hand pedal. ;)
No dodgy paint work - not seeing any though no doubt something will appear when I wash it.
No Dents anywhere - again, not spotted anything.
No Dirt anywhere - lol, they "cleaned it". Course there's dirt...
Proper 'Sync' installed - any Sync except N Sync...
Check operation of all lights - not yet.
Check all levels, oil, water, brake fluid etc - again, the weekend.
Ask if they can put the car on a ramp to check steering suspension and brakes - didn't.
Check mirror's are operational and fold properly - yes, but given the minimal folding I doubt I'll bother. Save the rubbing issue.
Leather Trim of seats (and other parts) as per - looks to be.
Engine coolant levels - weekend.
Locking wheel nuts fitted - yes.
Trunk / boot light functioning - yes.

Looks great, I take it you put the front number plate in the window when you picked her up for the ride home?

Glad you finally got it! Looks great, really like the non-custom pack trim & wheels (not surprising as that's what mine has too!)

 

[Aero]

Very nice mate

Enjoy it!

Loving the Grey... That and the Shadow Black ..(now theyve deleted Comp Orange !!)

Heres a question for you, seeing as you have a PPlate .. Did you still have to register it, ie 2016 number.. or did they register 1st off with yr number and save the £55 reg fee?? i believe.. Oh and plates make up £25

Many congratulations Steve! Enjoy :cheers:

Must say, I think that may be the first Magnetic GT I have seen without the custom pack - much prefer it!
