That really is great news about your car and yes definitely post photos when you get it.
Regarding the ceramic coating I can guarantee it is not actually worth £299, that's just what your dealer charges for it.
I would think it's simply one of the spray on coatings that can be quickly applied with very little preparation, but should be better than nothing at all.
The thing with professional ceramic coatings is that they are not what you would call expensive products, but the majority of the cost goes on the preparation and application process which for a typical 3 year coating is a 2 day job and around £400.

Thanks Ron will do.
Who knows on the dealer ceramic coating, anything for free is good. Is there anyway you can tell how good it is?
My son bought a used Audi Q3 from Parks Motor group recently and they had a specific leaflet on ceramic coating which he added and cost £299.

As you say the important word here is 'free'.
The general rule of thumb is never pay extra for any kind of 'ceramic coating' offered by a dealer because it will be an inferior product at a vastly inflated price, and dealers rely on customers not knowing this.
If you want your car ceramic coated then take it to a professional who this is what they do as their full time business.

Well they said Build date end of August (order Date 6th July) eventually being built last week
So no doubt the delivery date of Mid October will dop back as well
Can't wait

Hi, Picked up my new Puma ST today and so far really p!eased with it. Really liking the Solar silver colour. My dealer said although they have had a few of the facelift in other versions, this was the first ST that has come in.

Only done 55 miles in it so far,but will provide some more feedback once I have had it a bit longer.
I will upload a few pics tomorrow

Good choice for car and colour I'm thinking of doing the same myself. I'd be very interested to know how you get on with the controls being moved to the touchscreen, the single lever for wipers, indicators etc and the increased turning circle.

Hi Dave7 and all, here are a few pics of my new Puma ST and loving it by the way

Early days on the controls, but will need to give it a few more days and will get back to you. I know there are few unsure about the new steering wheel, but I found it quite natural to use .
The front and passenger doors seem at lot more solid than my old titanium,but unfortunately they must have ran out of money when it came to the back ones By the way Sparks they have sorted the boot floor clips and made them a lot sturdier.
