I can't believe the rear view is that bad on a 5 door hatch!

Spec looks good, can't wait to see the photo's when it arrives.

Good choice with the Xenon's as I find the dipped beam poor, saw an R-Design in white at the dealers today and it looked very nice, a proper bright white.I was never a believer in reverse sensors until I got the V40- essential as the rear view is terrible. Hope you spec'd a spare wheel?

We didn't spec the spare wheel either. I've since put together the parts required.
The flex floor is £110 and I managed to get the hold of an unused jack and wheel
From salvage. Mondeo mk3 is identical BTW. Bought the wheel insert and wheel brace
From dealer.

Cost me £180 all together.

I bought a stock car and now wish I had hung on and ordered as I would have gone for the pearling sensors. I have been quoted £750 to retro fit them!!!
I would also have ordered the sat nav.
