Show off your car on collection day thread?

[Aberdeenshire]

Just picked mine up this morning. Only ordered 23rd March. Was told July then got called last week to say it was ready.

In regards ceramic coating. It is very good. But expensive to get done properly. An alternative is to add in a product called purity x at the end of your washing process (best used with a pressure washer) have a Google. It adds a little layer of ceramic at end of the wash to give you a similar sheeting effect and make next wash easier but doesn't offer the longevity of a proper ceramic coating

I was extremely shocked but didn't want to miss out so I now have a ice car parked up till it sells

Just arrived an hour ago! ? ? ?

Love the blue. I thought about ordering that colour but they couldn't show me anything other than several photos which all looked different

It's quite bizzare, it's no wonder it looks different in photos, it looks different in real life depending on the angle and the light.
Every time you come out to it, you have a different car! ? ?

I played it safe not being able to see it and went for silver. Health to drive. I tried mg pilot today and it seemed to make a bee line for the kerb. Didn't trust it for very long

 

[Wazzajnr]

I don't even know what mg pilot is yet!
I'm sure I will try everything out shortly! ? ?

Lots to learn. I had my kids watching me figure out how to plug it into a charger at the shops.

Did you actually activate Pilot, or just ACC ?

Thought it would be nice to have a thread everyone can show off their cars after collecting as a few of us are lucky enough to be picking up orders. So show us your cars....

Triggered of course because I was lucky enough to pick up my LR yesterday!
First new car I've ever had, everything seems to just work and no hassle. Mg crawley (Tom) doing a great job.
I went for blue as I had a series of black, grey and red cars so wanted something different for a change!

Got mine 16th March

Actually activated pilot. Not sure it's my cup of tea. Tried it again today on motorway and felt better but still not my thing

I'm not overly keen on Pilot either, but do love ACC. If I have to keep my hands on the wheel I would rather do the steering myself, I've had considerable practice at that.
I find Pilot odd moving the steering wheel about while I hold it, I either don't hold it firmly enough and get warnings or hold it firmly and end up fighting it.

I quite like it on a weird sorta way ?

Looks really good. What % tints are those?

tbh I think they're 70% (I let the great chaps @ Window Tinting Service Milton Keynes | X Graphics choose the best for the car), they (as all decent tint fitters should) won't do the fronts as they're already factory tinted. £200 and was a couple of hours and worth the money!

There is no factory tint on any of the glass in the 5 or ZS (Gen1), the Global Tints person that did mine was aware of this as he had some several. This is documented in many other threads for the 5 and the ZS.

e.g.

tinted windows

Hi All Has anyone had windows tinted in the kent area and have any recommendations please. The sun is getting warmer and i don't want too fry the grandchildren .

My car is just over a year old and has never been as clean as it was yesterday when I picked it up from the body shop after it had two doors replaced.

I've been lurking on the forum for months but now have our car!

Not sure if I'm allowed to link a video, but here's our MG5 LR Excite:

Loving it so far!
