Check that there are no scratches on the paint work, or interior trim.

Check you have locking wheelnuts.

check the whole bloomin thing wiv a fine tooth comb.

1) crouch down at front either side and check panel straightness - lots of Clios have poor finish on rear quarter panels - looks like panel is dented just behind door shuts/ door handles.

2) check underneath - my exhaust was dented when new

3) also check tool kit, spare tyre, hand books etc - these often get nicked.

Good Luck - V. Envious!!

check that the netting for the boot is there, this is useful.

Check that seats dont move sideways on mounts at all.

Check auotchanger is there if supposed to be.

Check lights, wipers, air con etc all work and look fine.

Check that exhaust isnt lined up crooked.

Bring a portable rolling road to ensure its making correct power.

Also check Aerosols are present, should have two either in Glove box or under passenger seat as there is no spare wheel.

Dealer which supplied mine was quite amusing as I could not find the earosols, but they reckoned it should have a spare wheel to the extent where they came and took out the boot carpet before they believed me.

Wifey and I collected ours Tuesday night and she was priviliged to drive it home, on M6 north from Birmingham - at 5pm bang in the rush hour. She did well but filtered into the inside lane too early, and me in the hire car Fiesta Zetec left her behind...I drove back on the M6 and M54 at around 50 - 60 mph in the inside lane, eyes glued to the rear view mirror, waiting for her to catch me up...then, with a junction to go before exit for home, I saw her coming and my god, what a stance that damn car has in a rear view mirror! It looked so purposeful I just laughed out loud!! It looks more intimidating than the Civic (of which I have owned two) and the view from behind aint bad either...

Fingers crossed for reliability then guys! Thanx for reading.

Drive safe
