Congratulations, I think we did right going for the chrome, looks good

Thanks guys! B pillars ok, & tyre pressures at 2.2 bar 32 psi very happy!!

Took more pics on digital camera, but they are too big, sent to mate to resize!!

Considering adding front mud flaps, red boot nets & Octavia scuff plates, any thoughts on this?

If you have ms office you can resize by selecting the photo, right clicking and open with ms office.

Mud flaps yes- the ones for the mkIIs aren't brill but better than nothing and RBM will show the stone chips. Net- that's up to you and what you have in your boot. I had one free with my SE+ and never used it. Scuff plates deffo. Enjoy your car- what spec and engine did you get?

You should get the net foc from the dealer, due to mis print in brochure. Flaps and scuff plates look good on mine!

I think the 3.2 bar is a Hortons modification

Number plate machine scored my plates, rear was noticed by my sales guy, & replaced, then I pointed out the front wasn't perfect either, so new front plate being made tomorrow!

Will also be ordering front mud flaps & kick plates!

Must ask about the kick plates when I go into Sparshatts on Tuesday

The ivory interior is great isn't it!

Beige does look classy but with 2 young brats dropping sweets all over the place, decided to play safe with the anthracite! If I did go beige, I would have to get rid of the silver door inserts and go the whole hog with wood inserts :think:

Noo way Matt!!! Wood inserts with race blue ! that would be a case for the fashion police lol!! Beige and silver looks contemporary with RB

Fair cop guv, I'm obviously just not cool enough for the contemporary beige briggade just yet, lol!

Funny, the silver bits are my issue with the beige interior (which I'd really like to spec). I can't see it working with white paint though! To me it needs a contrasting colour externally. I've never had anything other than black for the interior before but the lighter colds are more appealing to me lately - they make the interior look more spacious to me!

guess its all a matter of taste! My current black Qashqai+2 Tekna has black leather with almost no contrasting materials, so have gone to the other extreme. Less bothered about the external colour as I rarely get to see it, but the interior in beige feels bigger and more relaxing to me - kids getting older now so should stay clean too

Think its a shame with the beige that the lower dash and door plastics arent black as well; I think a bit more colour contrast would really make it and I can see the lighter dash and door plastics picking up their share of obvious scuffs in time.
