Welcome and enjoy the pickup tomorrow and look forward to the pics.

Depending on who your OPC is will depend on what gap, allow wheel cover etc they offer as they are different. Some have got some great deals and some absolutely daylight robbery

Enjoy tomorrow 👍

Congrats on the pick up. It's a great car, so enjoy it. Mine a year old in a couple of weeks.

I took out gap and wheel cover with ALA as my OPC didn't offer any insurances. I didn't take out tyre cover as hadn't had a puncture in 20 years. Of course, after about 1200 miles, screw in the tyre & £300 for a replacement! Cover would have paid for itself.

I took out gap insurance with ALA using a discount code google found me (better than the forum discount), didn't bother with anything else. If you work on the assumption that any insurance offered by the OPC is vastly overpriced you won't go far wrong.

Enjoy the pickup and your new car!

This may be true of Gap cover and paintwork protection, but some folks on here have got some good deals on wheel/tyre insurance from some OPCs that do offer this. :geek:

Wing Co is right.
If it's a Jardine motors group then tyre / wheel / smart insurance may be cheaper and superior to the third parties. You won't hear that said very often.
E.g. £399 for tyre and alloy cover for 3 years with upto 18 claims with a better policy than others I looked at.

The gap unfortunately was not from them but I am aware other forum members getting all 3 for a very reasonable price. Also some that were a joke 😟

I see you have the same wheels as me. I hope £300 a corner is not a typical price!

That's about right unfortunately. I was quoted from around £265 all in to about £350 from memory. OPC price matched.
