New '05 MCS is ordered!
I've ordered and have a production number for my 2005 MCS. I'd been looking at a 2006, but the color combo I wanted was not available. Also, JCW production dates are not locked in, and I did not want to get stuck waiting until January for my car. The 2006 would have been a bit better deal, although slightly more expensive, as it would have included the JCW brakes, DSC & 17" wheels for only $800 more. As I was not interested in the DSC or 17's (I think the 16" v-spokes will have a better re-sale value than the S-lites when it comes to my future wheel upgrade.), I went with the '05.
Specs for the '05 are as follows
2005 MCS
BRG/B
JCW Engine & Susp.
LSD
Prem. & Conv. Pkgs
Chrome Line Interior
Anthracite dash & HL
Space Gray Cloth Seats
Arm Rest
Xenons
F & R fogs
Aux Gauges (below toggles)
Euro Parcel Shelf
HK/Sirrius
Misc. Odds & Ends (floormats, cupholder, etc.)
I'll be changing out the stock V-spoke wheels for SSR comps sometime after getting the vehicle. I ordered from Julie at Classic Mini, and will be doing a road trip for pickup in late september/early october. Julie's service was second to none, with a good price for my configuration, and pretty fast turn around on the car as well. Prices from local dealers were somewhat higher, e-mail response was much slower, and turn around was not even close from most of the dealers I communicated with.
Now the wait begins...

On a side note, I did like the look of the Royal Grey and silver roof of the Park Lane model. This looks sharp, but I want a little more color.
BRG I have seen a lot of, but fortunately most are with white roofs . Something about mini ownership that makes you want to stand out from the rest...

Good options, I would take the aero package, because eventually you will put it on, trust me

PS: I also agree with your choice of modifying the front grills with aero inserts instead of having the full kit.
