| Thanks Scrogg and Dillythedog.
Scrogg - I was able to spec the Space Saver Spare on the Chili Pack model with no problem and unless things have changed in the past two years it'll come with it under the back of the car. I was able to do this on my current Chili Pack Cooper too. Rest assured, if it is missing i'll be getting a refund on the cost but i'm pretty confident it'll be there as I watched the salesman spec the car on the system.
Dillythedog - congrats on your choices of cars. I think the C30 looks a great car, I was also swayed by the fact that I wouldn't have been happy with the S or SE spec, I'd have wanted the SE Sport spec complete with the 18" alloys just like the showroom and brochure cars and my budget wouldn't stretch to £18,995 for the 1.8 let alone a bigger engine so I decided that it was better to be happy in my choice of car that look back and think.......if only !! or look at other higher spec models driving around and thinking........i wish !!
Hope you enjoy your new C30 when it arives, i'm sure you will.
