I got an 06 MCS yesturday but did not get the floor mats at the dealer. I was wondering what's the good choices availible and where is some good sources? I was thinking about the coco mats but I' m open to others. My interior is panther black w/ anthracite trim.

 

coco is the way to go! So easy to keep clean

 

I agree, coco mats... www.cocomats.com and you can get custom colors to match your interior

 

Yeah, I bought the OEM black rubber mats - which are nice, but the driver's side is wearing very quickly. So I'm now waiting for my Black/Blue Dot Coco mats...

 

Cool- coco it is, now I just have to pick the color......black/grey will look good with panther black but the black/red might really cool...hmmmm

 

Yep, Cocomats rule ! I have relagated the OEM rubber mats to winter duty.

 

Did you guys order custom mats or universal?

 

Speaking of mats...

Does anyone know why some mats (like the diamond plate ones) say "Cannot be used in the cabrio"? What's different about the cab vs the coup? Just looking at photos of various mats it's hard to see any difference...

The coco mats always look... dirty... speckled... to me in the photos. They must look better in person I guess.

 

The coco mats are woven- almost braided- so that dappled appearance is the weave. Many of them are two tone so the lighter color might be standing out in the photo as well.

 

I ordered custom mats...after I placed my order, custom mat, custom color combo, it still took about 6 weeks for delivery. Remember, they need to have your color in stock, then custom cut them to fit the mini, then assemble them with the backing and foot rest. Takes a while, but I found it worth it. I talked to them before I placed my order, so I knew it would take a long time for them to get here.

 

Rear seat mats are a difference size. Thats the only difference

 

DIRTY ?? Something in my car looks DIRTY ????!!!!!




I think NOT, my friend !!

Nah, it's just the speckled appearance of the weave. I love those mats and they look great in person, trust me.

 

That's some extensive custom interior work, 03Indigo- blue backing on the gauges and all- matching door coverings, steering wheel cover, upper dash , etc. Looks good, must have cost mucho dinero. Did you have it done, or do it yourself? Love the 10 ball shift ****.

 

You need to ask for a swatch to see how they really are. They have a deep rich 3 dimensional texture that photos flatten and make unflattering. They look great in person but I haven't seen any photo that brings out their quality. I seem to be the only one on NAM to have them in all-black, with a great herringbone weave pattern. Floor mats are generally neutral to unattractive at best but these genuinely look good and make an impression of high quality.

 

The Cocomats that I got for my cabrio are the same shape as the dealer-installed mats, but they're significantly thicker, and as a result, the seats have a hard time clearing them when you slide the seats all the way back. I got the driver's seat to go all the way back, but the part of the seat rail that's attached to the seat itself cuts into the vinyl edging on the mat. I can't get the passenger seat all the way back without jamming up on the mat, so I just prop the rear-passenger mat up vertically between the front seatback and the rear seat. I figure that if I ever have a passenger back there (hasn't happened yet in seven months), I can push the passenger seat forward and lay the mat flat then.

Regardless, I love the Cocomats. I haven't done anything but vacuum them, and both sides look just the same, even after 10,000 miles with usually just me in the car and no passenger.

 

I like the coco mats. They look classy

I think I need to start making a list of "planned mods" in a Word doc or something.

 

Agreed, coco mats are the best. I didn't even get mats for the back since that part never shows or gets stepped on.

Hey ML, I think a word doc is the way to go... I made mine in excel w/ costs and it got quite scary! No need to see those totals since we know we're going to spend it anyway!

 

did all the work myself, and thanks . Not for everyone, but for me, I like it a lot.

 

+1, looks great

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh.... so THAT's why they say that for the convertibles! I didn't even think of checking that. Thanks, Twister!

 

Cocomats from Jeff www.cocomats.com are the best I have found. Jeff is great to work with also.

Black w/ red dots is hard to beat if the colors work with your car.



YD

 

Got mine today - I LUV them! The blue is almost a perfect cool blue match!

The rears they included were the COUPE size - but Jeff is going to make this right, no worries.

 

those look great
