January 2005 Builds!

Yeehaww!, I just got home from ordering my MCS.
- Chili Red/Black
- body colored dash
- octagon tartan red cloth/leather upholstery
- Cold weather pkg
- Convenience package
- DSC
- Front & Rear fog lamps
- Xenon headlmps
- Chrome line interior
- Auto AC
- On-board computer
- MFSW
- and oh yeah, the LSD (which is why I waited for a January build)
My MA said I should have it by the end of february and will have an actual build date once she gets their January allocation

Now the hard part of the long waiting process begins

My order for a second (i.e. replacement) 05 MCS is in. It's identical to my first 05 except that I've added in some specs that weren't available on the first one (*):

2005 Hyper Blue MCS with White Roof & Mirrors
Convenience Package*
Premium Package
Sport Package
Limited Slip Differential*
Rear Fog Lamp*
Space Gray Cloth Seats
Heated Seats (don't want heated mirrors/nozzels in Comfort Package)
Chrome Line Interior
Anthracite Interior Surfaces
Anthracite Headliner*
Navigation System
H/K Sound System
JCW

I can't wait until the new one arrives (in February) as I only got to drive the other one for just over 100 miles!

EDIT (12/11/2004): I've now updated my spec. Here's the new one:

2005 Hyper Blue MCS with Black Roof & Mirrors
Convenience Package
Premium Package
Sport Package (with 17" Web-Spoke Wheels)
Limited Slip Differential
Rear Fog Lamp
Black Leatherette Seats
Heated Seats (don't want heated mirrors/nozzels in Comfort Package)
Chrome Line Interior
Hyper Blue Interior Surfaces
Anthracite Headliner
Navigation System
H/K Sound System

Yep, they're $100. I wasn't sure about them, but my husband was bugging me about the fact that since it's such a small car, I should want to make sure that everyone can see me. So, I figured if I could make him happy for $100 it was worth it. :smile:

Getting a Cabrio..
What do you think?
Hyper Blue and octagon tartan red cloth/leather upholstery
with black top.

A little extreme... Am I making a bad choice with the interior?

They just showed up on the configurator yesterday when the LSD and COnvenience package were added. I guess they found some way to do it

IT GOES IN THE PLACE OF THE OLD BACK UP LIGHT!

Just saw it on the configurator! Turn your car around on the image so you can see the rear and you'll see that the little black out plate(for the old reverse light) is gone and replaced with a red fog light

KOOL!

Well i tried getting a picture of what it looks like from the configurator but it no longer lets you save a picture of what your car looks like (either that or i can't find how).

Also anybody notice that the picture for the Autodimming mirror shows the clock back up on the roof?
