You're quite fortunate that you're gonna be receiving delivery in April, all the newer batches have the better looking ORVM, I missed out on that and have to fix it as a paid accessory
Anyway, let me try my best to answer your query with my experience:
1. About the insurance, my SA told me that I was free to purchase insurance from outside. But that buying insurance from them would ease the speed of processing claims through the Renault service center. After waiting for 6 months, I was in no mood to argue so I just blandly said "OK". So, I ended up paying about 14,000 Rupees or somewhere thereabouts for insurance.
2. About the 5,000 Rupees "Logistics Fee", won't that get deducted out of the advance you paid? In my case, the "Delivery Fee" was 4,000 rupees and since I had paid 5,000 rupees in advance, I didn't have to pay any extra fee. But, if we look at it another way, I just paid the "delivery fee" in advance,
3. Trust me buddy, even I didn't get any free accessories. I had to pay for each and every single one. In the end, I ended up paying 31,500 rupees or thereabouts for the accessories.
4. I didn't take extended warranty but planning to take soon. Seems like a good deal.
5. A. Reverse camera and sensor were not in stock so I didn't fix it.
B. Seat Cover Fabric Sport - I don't know if mine is the same, but mine costs 5,600 rupees for the black and orange one.
C. Car Cover cost me 1,300 rupees or somewhere thereabouts.
D. Roof Rails, Side Body Cladding, Bumper Corner Protector, Weather Deflectors are attached to the car using 3M double sided tape (the tape comes attached to the accessory from the factory). As a result, they don't fit that well with the body.
After one week, I washed the car using a pressure washer and the side body cladding, roof rails, bumper corner protector, and weather deflectors became loose. When I went to install the High Security Number Plates for my car to Guwahati (284 KMS. from where I live), the side body cladding came off and started hanging off the side of my car.
I gave it to the service center (which is 8 kms. from the showroom), which replaced the offending parts with new ones. The side body cladding looked new, but the bumper corner protector didn't seem new just fitted with more 3M double sided tape (Pure Speculation on my part here). Overall, I'm happy that my problems were fixed though. No more loose fitting accessories.. for now.
While I was there, I told them about fixing the speakers which gave out a rattling sound from time to time (when not in use), they said they'd fix it. They were finished in an hour. When I inspected the car's interiors, there were minute little scratches on the side of the dashboard, and the A pillar trims. Have to get them replaced, but they're really minute and cannot be seen unless one goes looking, so I'm holding off on replacing the A Pillar trim. Anyway, I just drove it off the service center and the sound was still there. We had a long drive ahead of us, so just left it at that. Hopefully it can be fixed in the 1st service.
The Bumper Finishers are of a dull silver finish and not a bright silver like as shown in the accessories video. They are attached to the car using screws and not 3M tape unlike the others. So they're quite sturdy.
