I've now added sport seats, chrome inserts and the on-board computer to my wish list - an extra £350 so I'll have to make some cut backs!

I think I can do away with the minidisc player - I have a 3 month old sony minidisc player in my 306 so I'll fit that at some stage! Before I even ask if that is possible I'll go search the FAQ's !! (although any advice would be appreciated )!

Thats what I plan to do!!

I just phoned the local auto-electric guy who does any work I need done on my car (found out he is a supplier of the autoleads parts - thanks to Dom for pointing me in that direction!), I know him well so it makes him easier to pay - he says he can fit my md player with the wiring adapter and fascia adapter for £20 - bargain but theres a condition - I have to let him take the mini for a run!!!

I'll get the car first and then worry about things like the chrome boot handle and grille at a later date - if all goes to plan I should be putting my order in at the end of June, August at the latest - can't wait!!

That is the keyring I got but the dealers own keyrings that we got for free are pretty good as well. I also got a tail pipe trim for the inconvenience of not being able to have a multi-play cd changer fitted as they couldn't get hold of the loom which wasn't specced at the build stage. I had a single-play put in instead and saved approx £150.
By the way, the exhaust trim doesn't fit, will take it back this week.

The rolled end needs to be trimmed so it will fit

I had realised that if I trimmed the rolled end it would fit but the dealer had assured me that it fits in seconds and just pushes on, hence me thinking it was wrong.
Thanks for that though, it looks like he gave me duff info. and I'll have to dig out my hacksaw!
