Thanks very much everyone! 
I am surprised they dont do ruby black in the US but do in the UK - especially as we are lucky to get any sun over in the UK, so rarely get to see the ruby metallic in full effect! I'm well pleased with the colour choice.
Regarding sat nav, it not one of the options i was too mad on having, i have a portable one so it was only ever going to be a nice to have, rather than an essential.
The dash was originally wood trim, but i paid a bit extra (well, £706
) to have it swapped to brushed aluminium, and it really tranformed the car for me.
Finally, it still needs running in, i'm on about 750 miles at the moment, but cant take it over 4.5k RPM until 1250 miles, no massive drama as i just keep it out of sport mode and it changes up at 2.5k.
Nice to see some familiar names in this forum... and lots of nice cars in the gallery!!

steelmind said:regarding protecting the alloys / corrosion etc - any tips (other than dont curb them!)?
is there some special stuff i can use on it to prevent corrosion?
Keep them washed on a regular basis do not let the brake dust build up and bake to the wheels that way you have no need for special wheel cleaners all i use is my regular bodywork shampoo also use a good wheel wax makes life a lot easier to keep them clean.
Recommend this for cleaning round the bolts http://www.lakeland.co.uk/F/product/21569
With this set use the soft brush attachment http://www.lakeland.co.uk/F/product/21570
