What accessories are "plug n' play" in the 2nd Gen. MINI?

I'm considering an Oxygen-blue '08 MC (non-"S") mildly optioned for a good deal, so I was wondering if several options/accesories are just "plug n' play"/retrofit. For example, "cruise control/audio" switches in the steering wheel, "power-folding" mirrors with control switch, chrome line interior, front fog lights, rear fog light with its control switch etc. ?
Also, were 16" bridge-spoke wheels a factory option for the MC or were they only available for the MCS along the 17's?

Thanks

I'm not sure what you consider "plug n' play" but I don't think any of those options are very easily retrofitted other than the chrome line interior.

The 16" Bridge spokes were indeed an option for the MC. If the one your looking at has them, chances are the car has the Sport Package.

I think even the Chrome Line interior is not really that easy, there was a post on another thread that the ring on the tach requires replacing unit for big $$$.
