Thank you sooooo much to everyone who posted! Seriously, words can't even describe my appreciation; without my NAM-ily I have no idea how I'd have gotten through this entire ordeal.
This interior combination seriously is killer, the configurator does it no justice whatsoever. I actually didn't realize until I saw it in person. The cream color line matches the piping EXACTLY, and although it's a bit OCD I just love that kinda stuff. Also the piano black with interior chrome line creates such a sharp contrast, it's a thing of beauty. I'd actually venture to say the combo goes better with PW/B then it did with my original SS/B. A full black and white theme.
Can't wait to see it once they get the black bonnet stripes on tomorrow afternoon. And I'll be putting the black JCW 18" double spokes rims on it around February once the snow stops (I'm in the NE). At the same time I put those on I plan to get the JCW driller front rotors.
The first few mods are beginning immediately in the way of the ALTA cold air intake, boost tubes upgrade, intercooler air diverter and shorty 4" antenna. I hope to get the turbo-back exhaust on by Thanksgiving and finally the front mounted intercooler around Christmas. ECU probably won't take place until some time in the new year and around that same time I plan to install the JCW strut brace. It's gonna be a screamer.
But first some proper driving courses.

It's beautiful! I'm so glad that you were able to find another MINI that you're so excited about. Best of luck with the new MINI, and make sure to be extra careful - hopefully this one will have a long, happy life of safe motoring! Post lots of pics so we can all drool over your new baby! (Also, remember to go to the trial and make sure that your MINI murderer gets the punishment that they deserve!)
Hopefully I'll see you driving around Lancaster soon
