Coco mat recommendation?

I'd like to order a set of red & black coco mats for my soon-to-be-released (I hope) 2015. Suggestions? I'm not having much luck finding vendors for the F56 type. Just need the fronts.

They've got lots of other MINI stuff to offer. I'd have ordered some long ago but my co-pilot likes to kick off her shoes and thinks the mats are too scratchy.

I like to drive barefoot and plan to order these:

Ordered front set direct from cocomats,they will send material and color swatches.Mats are made to order,takes approx. 3 weeks.$150 little pricey but these are the originals,top quality,you get what you pay for.Hope they release your 2015 from lockup soon!!!

cocomats.com is it. Call and talk to Drew, he will hook you up. He drives a clubman and is a Mini fan. I only drive barefoot and don't find them scratchy at all. I got the red and black for my F56 and they fit perfectly, front and back. Coolest thing is that when the mood lighting cycles through blue and green at night, the red disappears, then glows again with the next color...Then again, I'm easily amused.

I have an F56 BRG and ordered the cocomats in the Jaspe pattern. They are absolutely AWESOME. I'll try to post some photos this weekend, but I am very happy with them.

Which mats are hose-able?
We live a rock's throw from the Pacific.
Sand is a constant problem.

I got mine (blk/red) from cocomats.com in June. When dealers had their open house, the cocomat people went to their nearest dealer and got all the measurements. Mine (front, back and trunk-well) fit fine.

Torpeau, when you have time could you take another picture of your mats a little farther away so it shows the mat as part of the whole interior? I too am deciding whether to go coco or not. I will have the JCW interior (as soon as 15s are set free) and am trying to decide if the dots and seat checks might look too busy together or not. Thanks very much!

I've seen zekemini's in person--JCW interior--and they look perfect. The red and black don't look too busy at all--actually look quite refined, although my seats will be black. Clearly better than the MINI USA mats, and I don't like rubber mats (or need them).

I ordered a free sample from cocomats, and you might consider doing that, too. You can get 4 sample colors free, and there's a small charge above that.

Yup, I just ordered the free samples last night. (black/red, black/gray, dark grey herringbone and black herringbone) I hate vacuuming/scrubbing stuff out of carpet mats and like you, I don't need rubber but the "hose off" cleaning effort appeals to me. Folks say you can just knock the stuff out of cocomats which also sounds appealing - and they look so much better than rubber.

Cocomats were traditional with sports cars for decades. Our '64 Porsche has 'em. Over the years, I think we've gone through 2 or 3 sets (nearly 50 years of ownership), so they're definitely durable. I hadn't expected them to look so good with a modern car, until I saw Gloria's set.

Sorry, no seat checks, but here are two pictures. If black/gray check upholstery, I'd probably go w/ a solid gray or black.

They never responded to my email about swatches that I sent and re-sent 6 weeks ago... Sadly I really am interested so I'll try again.

Thank you very much! I appreciate your thoughts on the pattern (or lack thereof) too. That's along the lines I was thinking - the dots give texture to a solid interior but might add too much with the checkerboard striped seats. Jeez, you'd think I was designing my home's interior or something. Oh well, keeps me engaged with my mini while I wait....

They have a link on their site to fill in your choices and submit. You go through the whole checkout process, but it's no charge. If you haven't done so already, give that a try. If you did do that and not getting them, that's discouraging.

The JCW stripes would pick up the blk/white (gray) coco mats.
That would look great
Those seats are subtle

I added the Mini all weather JCW mats to my Red/white mini and they really make the interior pop. Check my gallery for a couple of photos

Odd. I got the standard auto-response order confirmation like you get when ordering online from Amazon. Shows what I ordered, price, order #, etc. I didn't email them, just placed order as if I was ordering mats only they were samples.

Those look really good with your red color line.
