My new car was delivered to the dealers on Friday. White GP 1.4 8v with style pack. With the £2000 dealer contribution and 2% APR it seemed like a bargain on a 3year pcp, a huge amount cheaper than a Polo/Ibiza/Fiesta and with a higher spec.

I've been to look at the car but I'm not collecting it till 1st September (My old car is being collected then and I'll get the new reg plate).

The dealer said that the car has the auto dimming rear view mirror. I'm pretty sure this doesn't come as standard and I didn't order the viability pack. Will they charge me extra? How can I tell if it does have the auto dimming mirror. When I looked at the car it doesn't look like a standard one it had 2 sensors underneath.

Thanks!
 
Sounds like the electro chromatic rear view mirror to me, i think the whole visability pack is about £150? so i doubt they'll charge you extra for that 1 extra bit (y)

If there's rain sensors aswell then you've got visibility pack (£150) - But if you've not ordered visibility pack i dont see how they can charge you & considering its only £150 I cant see a reason for them to cause a stink over it.
 
Hi thanks for the reply. Is there any way of checking if it has the rain sensors? Other than driving it in the rain of course!

Theyre gettin themselves in abit of a pickle in that factory at the minute. Wrong fog light switches, extra equipment, not enough equipment, dust under paintwork.

Think their recent celebrations over building the fifth million car at the (Melfi) factory has left a few with extended hangovers. Or theyre still pissed :confused:

Well I picked it up today. Looks great! Seems to have the visibility pack and ambient lighting installed which I didn't order but I'm not complaining. Can anyone tell me how the ambient lighting works? Seems to be on the passenger side door handle and dash?

Guess you got a bargain then!(y)
Ambient lighting simply comes on when you turn your lights on, you should have it on your dash, passenger side door handle and drivers door handle, thats about all there is to say!
 
Cheers. Not dark enough to see it properly at the moment although it doesn't seem to light up on drivers door handle, might have to go and see dealer :(
 
I didn't order the leather pack or ambient lighting but there is defo a white light under the red dash and in the passenger handle and a strip that isn't lit up on the drivers side!

Odd, i'm certain that Ambient Lighting only comes with Leather pack or standard on the Sporting / Eleganza
 
You are right it isn't an option you can buy on the GP without buying leather but it seems to be there, but there seems to have been a mistake seeing as I got the visibility pack as well!

It's always nice when they make errors in the consumers favour (y) rare thing to happen, but nice when it does! :)
