Steve, tell them not to touch the cars paintwork, they won't do a good job, and use crappy sponges. I know, as Donnas little bro used to do it as a saturday job  He knows FA about cars!!!
Collect her, then take it to a proper valeter for the first wash and paint treatment/protection.

Vauxhall washes create swirls, and on black paint on a new car thats a no no.
It'll cost more to do it via a valeter, but you know the initial wash will be properly done by a person who does it for a living. Not for joe bloggs who has a part time job at a vauxhall dealer washing cars...

12th of August is also known as "Glorious The 12th".
It also happens to be my birthday.
I think you should give me the VXR8 as a present...

What Daimo said, don't let them wash it, spend all that money it's worth the extra for a valeter to do the first and probably most important wash

Can you not afford to get them whilst at the dealer?
Mind you, not like you can't get them under warrenty these days anyway. Just gets more expensive than a corsa system
Suddenly, £300 for a full exhaust system on a corsa really doesn't seem so bad when you go into the thousands

Sadly not.. Astons isnt a Walkinshaw/Wortec dealer but i know what you mean.
Im looking at £1800 for Exhaust, Remap and Filters.. should see an extra 30bhp though
