Thanks all, great to hear kind words about the car 
there's a bit of a to do list but it still feels fantastic, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and not quite used to seeing it on the drive yet!

Best photo I have seen of the difference a glass roof makes on the interior.
It turns out rear passengers are getting an even better view!

I just bought one (convertible) a month ago and I love it. mattman said:
Bridgestone RFTs are expensive - £315 each on the £270 front so make sure you have lots of tread
You really feel those on a bump in town. mattman said:
Geabox can have issues, look for hesitation or feel of wanting to change gear at a constant 30mph cruise. Other check is to run hard through the gears and look for a hard change - mine had it between 4th and 5th about 85mph and you know when it does! Diagnosed as mechtronix unit breaking down - £2.5k for a replacement box. Meant to be sealed for life but a few people recommend a gearbox flush and oil change around 75k and costs about £300
This seems to be mentioned everywhere. I hope I will not have it. Shall I do something before to prevent this. mattman said:
Check drivers seat back bolster for what looks like a fag burn. It's down to the heated seat element being too close to the leather causing a hole to be burnt though and can burn you in not careful
I had this exactly. Changed the leather and they have done an excellent job.

Get a car with the cup holder - I know it sounds daft but it's a real PITA not to have one!!
I was told this plastic device is quite expensive to source. Happy to have it.
