Hope it all goes well. Seems like I have had mine ages and that was only a week ago. Mine was pretty swirl free in the end, looked at it under the unforgiving forcourt lights when giving her some optimax last night, still smilling.
Only up to 160 odd miles on mine :( and 70 miles off them where last night, going out tonight to try and do another chunk! So far I have kept it between 3 -3.5K tho. Fast getting bored with it tho!
Looking Good, there was a silver on next to mine when I picked it up last week.
Posted these on another thread but will add them to the 05 thread too :)

I know that feeling.
Thought the same as you. Was lucky that mine was mostly swirl free, a good polish seems to have sorted the rest. Also fancied the Yellow but it is a bit loud for an old man like me.
Glad I went for black but it relly does get dirty easily.
182 Blue, - its all polished, waxes and sealed and pretty much swirl free.

There are as said very tiny gold flecks in the paint, didnt get round to taking any pics to show it battery died.
Tax disc is the standard Hylton Renault...
Cheers guys - Hadnt really noticed the yellow tax disc thing till I looked at the pics. I took the yellow dealer sticker out the rear window the day I picked it up, Tax disc holder next!
Since It actually didnt rain for the Ist day since I collected it on Tuesday I have been able to take some proper pictures today. Took a drive out this afternoon to get some running in done and get some pics.

Not noticed them on mine but the polish and wax job has shown up some strange press type marks on the roof from the manufactering process if you look hard enough and at the right angle.
I only picked my car up on Tuesday but have found a normal yellow type jumbo sponge cut in half works quite well and can be pushed between each spoke to do the inside. Polished and Sealed with Autoglym Resin and Gloss so hopefully that will keep the brake dust off.
Depending on how back they are they will polish out. Minor ones should be removable by hand with something like Meguiars Scratch X, serious ones will need to be machine polished out.
