You have added a lot of high value(read high profit for dealers) extras in your spec and the dealer can come down 12% on the list price of the car( but will not want to) so £18000 is ambitious but possibly can be done or nearly done if you haggle hard enough. Or do what i did and give the dealer the price you are prepared to pay and let them decide if they want to do a deal or not. But hold your nerve and let them do the chasing. They emailed me 6 times that they couldnt do the deal at my price. Held firm and got the car at the price that I wanted. Email is a good tool if you dont want to mess around tooing and froing in the showroom. Good luck!!

P.S I wouldnt except a deal with a discount of less than £2500.
