Rear Fog Lamp

Didn't realize rear fog lamps "added" any performance stats to the MCS?

At a cost of $100, the HP/$$ ratio is very good . I checked, and it's the MINIUSA Configurator that lists the fog lamp under "Performance" options.

Wow, almost like the one I ordered, except for the center console and leatherette. I got leather and the JCW kit. And it's Chili Red with a white roof and Union Jack mirrors, and white bonnet stripes.

And it won't arrive until May.

Nothing yet. Still running the thing in and the temperature has gotten above freezing so ... The first real test will be when the Nürburgring Nordschleife reopens :smile:
