Forget the manual, this forum is more helpful with the experience us fellow owners have! Check this topic out too, there may be a few other things you didn't know about!  Nice looking car btw! |

If you try telling Rory to show some respect to his big Italian cousin, he will undoubtedly swear at you.....  Still, at least you parked next to someone who is unlikely to hurt Rory by bashing their door into him or doing something else totally cras like that. |

find a tiny stone mark on the bonnet, any suggestions?
Visit Paintshield or similar (if you have a spare grand). Or Get some touch up paint and use a cocktail stick to touch them in when you get them (if you've got a spare tenner). |

well after the lengthy wheel clean, I think I will go wheels first after the wheel spray this weekend, mind you car is actually looking clean, I think the first day must have been from the drive back from Slough around the M25 where it got its dirt.

Rory had his fist experience of a big crowd point at him last night. went out to a nice busy country pub, as you drive in there is a pond triangle shape, 2 little access roads, one in and one out, because its tight and then leads onto the car parking area, I heard the monza much more than normal, must be bouncing the sound off the cars and confined area. well this got peoples attention, then I saw people pointing, nudging their mates, some laughed  some you could tell were saying "wow" the best thing was, being a busy pub and few spaces, its a really mish mash of a car park, little Rory had no trouble with finding a nice space that was out of the way of other car doors and was close enough to be seen When I got out and walked to the front of the pub, a few people said, nice car mate, what is it  and one said" that sounded like a ferrari was coming in and then I saw you!" luckily I knew him  |

yes everyone loves the sound it makes little Rory having his rear parking sensors fitted today, something they forgot last week to do when I collected it, and before you lot say it, yes I know its a little car, but when getting into those tight spaces, I like to hear the little beep to let me know. He is also bringing my blue&me adapter and phone holder, so now my ageing itunes can amuse Rory aswell  |

wow 40 mins and now I have parking sensors, I actually had to look away when he pulled out the drill  must say what an excellent job he did, exact colour match, and a tidy finish with a nice audible sound yet to try out the blue&me iphone adapter, but neat little phone holder that fits the cup holder and swivels. |

I can park the front of the car to within inches in my garage but reversing is hard as the back bumper sticks out more than the window, when parking i just reverse in until the front of the car is just in the space or level with everyone elses, having the shortest car is good for parking |
