Wanting to move to an automatic - help needed

I signed a PCP agreement for my first car, a new Hyundai i10 (manual) back in April. There is nothing wrong with the car, however, over the past 7+ months being based in London, I realised how much a manual for stop and go traffic has irritated me to the point that I try to avoid driving and have only done about 600 miles since taking possession of the car.
While I realise that this might very well be a pricey mistake that I will have to live with until the PCP agreement nears it's end, I wondered if from your knowledge of the Auto Industry how dealers would react to swapping/upgrading from current car/PCP deal to a new PCP deal (same model, just automatic)?

You just have to talk to the dealer who sold you your car and arranged your PCP. Providing you are swapping to a new PCP then it should be possible, but at a price, of course.
