What!! No carpet mats!!

Picked up my new MCS Tuesday. I had ordered it with the Cosmo mats. When I picked up my car, I noticed it had rubber mats, not carpet. My sales person told me that MINI had recalled all carpet mats. This doesn't sound right to me, but WTF, I already had nice coco mats for my car, but......

interesting! i ordered my mini with carpet mats too and im not happy with them. they dont seem to fit right at all and i keep meaning to call my MA about them as i was too excited on day of delivery to really care......this is probably why mini has recalled them. Ill call on monday and see if i get the same thing.

Nice interior by the way....i wish i had gotten the leather seating instead of the "leatherette". Looks much much richer!

My MA in 07 promised me he was going to send my mats in the mail. Never did get them. I know who's not going to be my my MA next time.

claud,
I had those mats in my '06, they lasted for well over 4 years. What color are the mats you have? Hard for me to identify which colors those are on my screen.

I was wondering how the mat thing was going to work out when I picked up my new '11 MCS. They were of course available for an additional fee. My Coco Mats should be here Monday.

I got mine at cocomats.com. They are made in Fort Mill, SC. I bought some Sisal mats for my BMW and they began coming apart and fading in a year. This time I decided on quality mats. If you go to the website, and don't like the price, call them (800#). I just ordered my trunk mat from them today and my wife saw a $250+ invoice on our email. I called them and the mat is $75.
My mats are #83, gray with light gray dot. They also have sisal mats.

Here's another ringing endorsement for cocomats.com. These are by FAR the highest quality cocomats you can buy - there are others out there, but they're all crap. These are super-high quality with a VERY thick rubber backing that makes them stay in place and also adds to their durability. I have them in both of my rides, been swearing by them for years...

My MA threw in mats. He gave me the rubber ones because I go the the beach regularly.

Thanks for posting those pics, KevinC. I'm thinking of ordering the black/blue dots for my '11 but there wasn't a pic on their website.
Here's El Kabong with his.
