 Finally placed the order for new MCS....pics now attached... Hi guys, Finally ordered my new Dark Silver MCS for delivery on 1st March and the specs are as follows: Dark silver/black roof ChilI Pack Sat Nav Auto AirCon Voice Control System Flame Spoke Alloys Bluetooth with USB MFSW Armrest Chromed Mirror Caps Darkened rear windows Heated mirrors/washer jets HIFI Speaker system I still have till mid/end January to change any specs before it goes to build. Might change from dark silver to laser blue with black roof.... Also might add interior chrome trim.... Too many choices.... Two quick question about the sat nav: - Can you enter destinations using post codes. - Can you have split screen on the screen. Let me know what you all think about the spec and if you recommend any alterations.... This is going to be 90 long days  ....Adit Last edited by Adit; Jan 20th, 2008 at 05:06 PM. Reason: added in pics in...  |

| The S has enough torque to contend with... the LSD is a 'must-have" option IMO. I would also suggest that if you're used to an R50/R53... the Sport Suspension, JCW Suspension, or other aftermarket options help with that uber-quick-to-turn-in MINI handling. If you've driven and like the stock R56 stuff, disregard. Looks like another nice one!  Founding member of R56 Anonymous: "Hello. My name is Mike.

 Sounds COOL, but i wuld definetly addthe chrome line interior, as it makes the inside feel really classy, and smart.  Plus i would possibly change to laser blue, because its brighter and looks gorgeous, but then i do own a LB.  I am ALWAYS happy and smiley Last edited by Zack; Dec 3rd, 2007 at 03:15 PM. |

| Yes Yes I have d/s with black roof and wouldn't get a black roof car again, quality of paint not up to the rest of the car IMO, difficult to wash when there is any sun too. Definately get LSD Sun protection rear glass ? |

| Thanks for the replies guys... I am going to test drive the different suspension options on the weekend where i will try and test the LSD as well... I am going to be adding the chrome line interior trim as well to the car at this time. Not going for the DAB option as I do not use the radio that much and prefer to use my Ipod... Will let you know what I decide upon on the weekend.... Adit |

| Do you REALLy need bluetooth & SatNav - these are very expensive options. DS is one of the colours that looks best with a body coloured roof. How about all DS with viper stripes? Or even better, black with silver vipers. How about a different dash colour and a colour line and coloured seats? I really like the hifi upgrade BTW.  |

| None of the options except the aircon are things I really need but are all options that I would like to have. I agree the satnav is expensive but after debating over it for so long I finally decided to go for it as I think it brings everything together on the dash and looks better in my opinion.  I think I will stick with the black roof on which ever colour I go with (DS or LB) as I quite like the contrasting roof. Am saving up for the viper stripes to be added at a later date when I have saved up some more money.. |
