All British Field Meet

First off - sorry, I dodn't read these board often - if everyone has already seen the S convertible and there have been dozens of photo threads then I'm sorry in advance... if you enjoy the pics, cool.

I was at the Washington State All British Field Meet today and Northwest MINI had a pre-production MINI Convertible there. I took a couple of snapshots of this car... which I posted at:

http://www.pbase.com/threefourfive/mini_convertible

main things I noted...
1) LED daytime running lights

2) mini buttons on front of multi-function wheel
3) option package they had simulated on the car pushes the speedo and tack to steering column

4) NO buttons on back of wheel:

5) antenna on front of car:

6) Still has blank in the rear foglight position (this is in the US remember.. they will sell the switch and enable it for ~$70 USD)
7) has some sort of sensors in bottom of temp control

8) Oil/water/gas (told it was optional) center display that bumps speedo to steering column

Some other shots of it (more on the site):

Is that the look if you don't take the chrome line interior?
(I was told by my dealer that it does affect the look of the roll over bars - Although he may have said they were matt if you didn't - I can't recall exactly).

By the look of the instruments it doesn't look like its got that option.

That's the standard, non chrome rollover bars.

thought chrome coloured roll-over bars were standard on the S?
Can you ask for them in black?
