Just went down to the dealer to delete the Rear Parking distance sensor and add the floor mats and fog lights (have to have the full switch panel

)

Looked at the cost difference between my options and the chilli pack and thought it might be a good idea to get the pack. I am not fussed about the 17"s or the half-leather but I have been getting a bit worried about resale value of late. I am yet to see or hear about on these boards, a MCS withOUT the Chilli pack.

So it looks as though its a CR/W with Chilli Pack and chrome pack for me!

Would be good to see a red/black interior available though...

I don't want the chrome mirror caps that come with the chrome pack. I wonder if they are easy to swap with the white ones? The dealer is making enquiries for me.

BTW - What is everyones opinion of the ride quality with the 17"s? I took the demo car which has 17"s for a quick drive and could not tell a huge difference to a car with 16"s. Mind you it was about 2 months ago that I drove the one with 16"s!

Popped into our local dealers yesterday - and they had swapped some mirrors over for a customer - no problem

Am really interested in the difference between 16 and 17s on UK Roads - dont like the look of the 16s - which is the only problem.

Was considering fitting the Chili Pack - then flogging the 17s - and fitting some aftermarket wheels - any one done this - or does having 17s not make that much difference

15s on an MCS ? anyone been there ?

JebJeb - you must be well excited sorting the spec out on a motor - have fun
