Default New purchase, now what?

Morning guys,

I have just purchased a Crossfire very rashly, 3.2 Auto, 215 BHP 35k mileage...

I love this car, and want to give it the best start to it's new life with me so I was hoping for some recomendations on what to do asap as to avoid pitfalls etc...

I need asap a boot lid cover, or window blind as the entire boot is viewable from outside, there also seems to be a viewable area at rear of drivers window, do the regular blinds cover this? and where is the best place to source a blind?

I also would like to get a cup holder, I have a centre console behind handbrake, and ideally would like to keep this, has anyone modded anything to encorporate a cup holder anywhere?

Check me out worrying about the big things hahaha

On a more serious note, I'd love to up the performance from 215, but can the auto box handle it? and is there anything I could do without spending a lot right now?

Then are there any 'must do's' to avoid issues in the future, I will be taking it on a 800 mile round trip very soon, it has been serviced 3 months and 1k miles ago, but am always untrusting of these selling points.

Thanks a lot
