I just took a ride to test the LED headlights, since it is now dark out. You know, any excuse to take my baby out for a stroll. LOL. First, the LED headlights are phenomenal. Brightest and whitest I have ever had. Superior to my wife's Xenon HID headlights (2012 Hyundai Azera). The cornering LEDs (if you went with the cornering lights option) is well worth the money. MINI/BMW did these right. As you turn, special LEDs turn on, lighting the area on the right or left depending on which way you're turning. When you complete your turn they turn off. Awesome system IMO.
If you are thinking about ordering a MINI, I highly recommend that you seriously consider the 'LED headlights with the cornering lights' option. It's $1,250.00 but well worth the cost IMO.

No, I don't believe so. At least I never noticed. Kind of comfortable, actually.

Is your elbow resting on the armrest while you are shifting?
my MA told me to take it off my order (MCS Manual) because it would
get in the way of shifting. I truly wanted the armrest, it also makes a nice entry balance point

It moves up and down.
When I played with it in the automatic, it bumped my elbow.
I tried the arm in both positions.
The shift arm may be different in the manual than in the auto.
The armrest has a interior compartment for charging your I phone.
I personally like it, but if it impedes the shifting??
My MCS is on order, so it may be too late for me.

As a fellow "big person" I hear ya. I sat in the sport seating for the first time yesterday. It was, ummm, snug, but doable. I look at it as a gentle reminder that I need to get back on my diet :D

Andrew, I'll post a photo or two of the rear spoiler in the morning. I won't be able to take photos until later tonight.
Mileage put on the car yesterday? Not nearly what most expected, but that was mainly because I had to work most of the afternoon. I drive 68 miles. Added maybe another measly 10 miles today. LOL. But I can tell you that I have had an absolutely blast with every one of those miles. This car is so much fun. Haven't had so much fun driving a car since my old '03 Cobra. Hopefully tomorrow my wife and I can take a run down to Mystic, CT. That will add a good 150 miles to the odometer.
