Now or Never Options Help!

Hi, I have my new Cooper S on order for delivery March 1st and have been told I have about 1 more week to change the spec to guarantee the changes happening in time for delivery.

My current spec is;
DSW
Chili
White bonnet stripes
Web spoke wheels
Chrome line interior
Darkened glass
Chrome wing mirrors
Climate control

I would really appreciate some advice on the following extras as I don't want to miss out on getting them and regret it later.

Full Leather
MFSW

Any ideas?

I'd get both of these for sure, also have you thought about heated seats?

MFSW is a must mate, serious,, I am so botherd about it that I am looking into it being fitted to the car I have now, Seriously, you wont regret it.
You dont need leather, I have cloth and its stunning, Just get sports seats and your ok!

I would avoid full leather. In my (and others) experience it does not wear very well; the pseudo-leather or the cloth are better for wear and less expensive.
I would choose the MFSW - assuming you plan to listen to music regularly; easy reach to the volume control is nice.
And yes yes yes to heated seats

Yeh,, heated seats are a good one too,,,
But you want them all,,, so does everyone,,, How difficult is it to spec a car!
And how spoilt does that seem to make me sound! hehe!

My 05 MCS leather is wearing really well, was yours a recent one?

Now, my cloth (the red part) gets marked very easily!

Yeah I looked at leather when I ordered and saw a couple of pretty baggy examples which put me off. but that could just have been how they were looked after?
Also I think leather gives more of a luxury feel to a car and it smells good too, but looks cheap when it gets worn.

Most of the ones I have seen have been saggy too.

I'd go for half-leather, you dont get saggy seats and you get a bit of the leathery smell!

MFSW is a must. Changed my head unit and interface and it works with my Alpine, easy to get rid of those pesky traffic reports from far off counties!!

Forget the leather. How about the h/k system?

[smartbomb]

I would deffo go for the MFSW having had a MINI without and now with it really is a useful bit of kit.
Leather is great for resale but I'd go heated too with that !
The H/K system is knock-out and love it - a huge improvement on the standard system.
I'd go DS/B too....

STOP! Has anyone recently purchased an MCS with leather? Recently! It's no good slating it if it's been updated/improved.

my comment...

I dont think either is a must, not like A/c is or chili is (in my opinion)...up to you

[Mike Edwards]

Chili pack - half-leather - then you won't need to waste money on the seat heating.

MFSW - I have one but it isn't fitted yet...

In terms of improving the driving experience, fit the Works suspension. It ought to cost about the same as leather...
