Build date 1/06.
Congratulations, the car looks great! Don't worry about the dents- the dealer will fix these good as new. I agree with the others that perhaps the best bet is a new hood under the circumstances. Many of us have had some "war stories" about delivery of a brand new car, so we can all relate. Just enjoy it- it's a terrific car, and it will be made "perfect" soon enough

Can only agree : get the hood replaced if dented.
If you get the hood replaced it will not have the same VIN as the car. Most people would question if you had an accident and it could affect your resale.

One short question, why do you call it "she"???
Its a Saloon, right? Aren't usually the Saloons "male" and the Tourings "female"?
Well, in English you even have the "it" so that you can be "pollitically correct".
In my home Language (Portuguese) we don't have that option. All objets must have associated an Gender...
And its "male" for all types of cars (Saloon, Cabrios, Coup?s,...) with the exception of Tourings/Vans which are "female"...
