What to expect when collecting a new car from OPC?
Discussion
I'm collecting a new Cayman S from an OPC in London in a few week’s time. It's my first ever brand new car, let alone my first Porsche. I'm part exchanging my old Diesel Scirocco, will it just be sitting down, doing the paperwork and exchanging the keys?
I'm not too proud to admit that it's a pretty big deal for me, I'm looking forward to immensely. I'm not expecting smoke, lasers and a marching band or anything but something other than mere formalities seems in order. A silk sheet cover pulled off or something like that.
Anyone want to share their experience of new car collection?

Collected my new Cayman S from West London Porsche yesterday afternoon.
There was no silk sheet but I didn't care, I just wanted to look at the car from every angle.
Paperwork took longer than I thought it would but otherwise it was a great experience. All options present and correct. I have never been so paranoid about scooters and London traffic but it's fair to say that I'm loving it so far.

I'm a regular over at Detailing World Forum and I spent a good 20 minutes inspecting the paint, the showroom lights were a big help. I'm glad to report that it was pretty good with only some very minor swirl marks at the top of one of the A pillars that I'm confident I can easily rectify. Otherwise it was perfect.
Cheers everyone for sharing your experience. I adore my new Cayman S already. Spec wise I'm pretty happy, a couple of things I'd do different next time. Didn't get dual zone climate as I assumed (wrongly) that single zone climate control was standard. Old school warmer/cooler A/C is a bit stingy. Maybe leather dash next time as well. I'm from Australia where the sun would kill a leather dash in no time flat but I guess it's OK in the UK. LOVE the Burmester.
