Depends which audio system - Premium was an option (it will come up with "Premium" when turned on)

Strictly speaking full leather seats were originally an option, with the standard being cloth centre panels with leather sides ... but when I spec'd mine in 2005 the standard wasn't actually available!

The electrically adjustable passenger seat was also an option, which allowed you to delete the standard ISOFIX child seat compatible version.

It also depends upon the age of the car as some items that were optional one year were standard the next ....

According to my order form from 06 all extras apart from electric seats, air con and standard audio system. I paid for all the others apart from red calipers, which on a red car with red interior may have been a bridge too far

Great, thanks for the reply. I was trying to get an idea of how well specified the car was over standard.

Are there any other worthwhile additions over and above that listed?

Have a look on the parkers guide, it will list all extras including the cost for each extra along with the original cost of the car.
Not sure if your aware, but the spec changed from 06 to 07 model car during August/September 2006.
The 07 model year car has different seat which look far more modern, same as the 09 spec car!
Also tracker with tags as standard.

Being July 06 I imagine it's an 06 spec car. Is there a way of telling from the chassis number (or anywhere)? I assume a seat with a central row of sticthing across the cushion is the later model?

MY07 seats have a hole between the top of the seat and the headrest, the MY06 don't

A July 06 car will be an 06 spec car. No question.
Yes the 07 onwards cars have a different shape seat which does have stitching along the center of the seat.

What is your budget, how much are you looking at spending?
