Looks great, man. I love how the rear foglight looks in those pictures, all lit up too!
I think I'll have to add that to my configuration... That will make me have a full panel of toggle switches, right? Two windows, door locks, front fog, rear fog... I know there are six switches... What else is there?

Nice photos of your MCS/LY...05LiquidYellow!
I've got to say that, that MINI assembly line has really got to be "buzzin" this month. As I said earlier, my MCSConv./LY,6spd,LSD, hah I love it, and I can't wait...is on the Madame Butterfly, this will get it here at Peabody, Mass. about a mo. earlier than I asked for!
05 Liq. Yellow- in your photo gallery, the trim reflectors at ea. whl. well, are they reflecting lite?..they sure look like there powered. Also, european models don't have these reflectors.

To answer your ? about "What else is there?".. The DSControl has it's own on/off toggle, of course if you don't get this option, the tog. slot is left blank. Maybe for the fog lite??

Thought about the Aero Kit but decided to hold off for now, no performance benefit, really. Also considered the Driving Lights, but will wait to see how good the Xenon's do without them.

It's YOU!
Holy crap, Edge.... I have seen your car at MINI of Sterling! I was there two weeks ago, maybe, taking a test drive and generally hanging out with Jeff, my Motoring Advisor. We walked over to your car and he told me all the things you were adding to it, etc... Like the lo-jack. I wondered aloud why you didn't opt for the JCW wheels if you were getting everything else under the sun that is JCW, and he explained it to me exactly like you explained it there!
I can say easily, HOT RIDE! Looks very, VERY nice. After I get my MINI we'll have to meet up and hang out.

Wow, small world! Thank you very much... I was going for the "understated look" (hence, no stripes, body color roof & mirrors, nor aero kit... and as little chrome as possible).
My rep is Tony Moorehead, I'll ask to speak to Jeff and let him know that I saw you online here.
It'd be cool to meet up - contact me through IM or email, once you get your car... speaking of which, when is it due to arrive, and what are you getting, exactly? (other than the fact it's an MCSa, I can see that heh)

[left window] [DSC] [door locks] [rear fog] [front fog] [right window]...ah heck, let me go outside (Blizzard snowstorm) and take a picture.

Geez, with the way it's snowing I will never be able to drive with the top down soon!
Anyhoo.. what is really cool is there are lights at the end of the fog light toggle switches, yellow for the rear, and green for the fronts that come on when activated.
Goat.
