Whats the back seat like in terms of blue coloured bits ?? is it too much blue ??

Would like to see the gravity beige leather with or without the "interior world" my other option not sure how that would look.
or the punch leather with iighter grey colourline.

ive also gone for the visability pack to get the front heated screen - Can you actually see the lines ??

What type of bonnet stripes can you get ?
Can you double check the UK spec cooper S with Chili (Xenons) doesnt have the orange lens if not it a must changed on my order.
Cant wait till November (hopefully) missing my elect blue cooper already its sold to new home.

TA mini - soon to be an R56 S !!

Heated screen: if you look for them, you can see the faint zig-zag lines of the heating elements. But I've had a heated screen on a Mini and on a Focus and in neither case did I ever notice them when I didn't want to! I had worried that e.g. headlights from oncoming traffic might cause problems, but in my experience this was not an issue.

White indicator lenses: these are standard on the R56 MCS in the UK. On the Cooper they are an extra, costing £50. Details can be found in the PDF here. Option number 785 is what you are looking for: "White direction indicator glass in headlamps, side direction indicators and rear lights." And I have to say I'm glad they're available - I'm not keen on the orange indicators now that they're built into the main headlamp unit
