Once the car arrives....visit the dealer, and take the number plate holders from the boot, and take em home with you:)

Ok, busted - of course I was excited! It feels like I can let it out of the bag now though!!

On the plate, that was pretty much what I decided - is the 3M tape easy to get off when the time comes?

Don't know what you mean on the tax - the government wouldn't respond to a populist media invented story to the detriment of a segment of societ.... oh. Nuts.

Ok, so 14 hours lapping the M25 it is to get the running in over and done with! ;)
Tapes a doddle, i jetwashed it off then used some of that 3M stuff to remove the sticky bits.

Wooo M25 1k cruise time ;)!

Do this! An Ali plate is best for the front as you'll need to put a slight bend in it otherwise it'll pull itself off over time..... :)

As for run in I drove 50 miles to my brothers, bedded in the brakes on the way and that was it.

Hahaha! Ok, maybe 14 hours over a weekend night then! :)

Good idea to take the plate holders away - remove the chance for being ignored.... [MENTION=21724]Tacklebury[/MENTION] - where did you get your Ali plate from?

I guess I'm really lucky with my dealer, Andrew at Bristol Street Gloucester, he has stated that I will be invited in as soon as my RS and GT arrive. Then I can remove stickers etc to keep, tell them what needs to stay on and what they need to leave. TBH I'd like to drive the car home as it came off the transporter.

As for running in, I will be driving up and down dale using all the gears for the first 300 miles, staying below 3000rpm, then steadily raising my rev limit into around 1200 to 1500 miles and then, after an oil change, going hell for leather.

I really hope this all goes well for you and the experience is enjoyable.

As the old saying goes, "the proof is in the pudding". Let's see how things go with the RS, then we'll go from there.

If they drill the Mustang bumpers I'll reject the car!!

Being picky, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. ;)
As in "the proof of the dealer is in the drilling, or not drilling"

I'll get my coat :bolt:
