Looks nice! Strange to have removed a bit of chrome. My 2015 Lounge doesn't have an SD slot, so either it came with an upgrade pack or has come and gone.
29mpg around town is to be expected, I've got over 40 on a decent motorway run, and when making good progress on A and B roads. Someone on here commented that the trip computer accuracy was not good, so I'm currently checking mine with a brim to brim. May take a few weeks as I don't do many miles now I'm retired.

Congratulations! 
Hope it gives you many happy and trouble free miles.
I personally wouldn't remove the spare wheel. The puncture repair kits are rubbish and can only repair around 1/2 of all flat tyres. If you can't repair, you need to be towed and obviously ATS ain't open in the middle of the night Will probably be getting myself a full sized (or at least a space saving) spare wheel when I get mine. Coming from a Fiesta, I can't say I'd miss the boot space because I haven't had a comparable amount since I had an Astra G in 2012
TrevC - the SD card slot came with the 6.5in screen optional extra. Not available with the 5in one. I am glad I got the larger screen as the smaller one just looked depressing when I was inspecting the dealer's fleet of 500xs lol.

That's a remote start button. It's a feature we don't get in the U.K., not allowed to leave a running vehicle unattended.
Perhaps a previous owner opted to replace some worn buttons but could only get the USA pad for the keys.

That is the 6.5 inch screen for sure.
Heated seat button for front seats one left and one right. Other button I think is heated steering wheel.
Strange you have the 6.5 screen but no SD slot, do you have a second sub slot inside the central arm rest?

Heated seats and steering wheel? Luxury!
Heated steering wheel unnecessary surely? And I would never turn the heated seats on even I had them, but I do have plenty of other stuff loaded on
Heated seats are great, 2 settings hot and hotter!
The heating steering wheel was in short supply when I ordered the winter pack in April 2015 and car didn't come with it so Fiat gave me the heated seats free.

I suffer from cold hands when I am driving, and usually wear gloves from autumn through to spring, so a heated steering wheel would be nice. I've had heated seats in a previous car and they warm you up quickly. Having said that the climate control in the 500X blows warm very quickly. On balance, I regard these items as nice to have, but would probably not pay extra to get them.
Quick update on consumption...
29.1 only on town .
Average speed 15 mph.
Thats about 9.7 liters on 60 miles but realy slow ride without crazy acceleration...
Looks like trip comp is accurate .
Top up on petrol station showing similar results...now will try on higher octane like V POVER+ from Shell maybe is worth put better petrol ...who knows .
Happy Easter for all FIAT users..
