I'm looking for a pic of an interior with the leatherette seats and piano black interior surface. Does not selecting a color line leave you with black? I'm looking for a dark interior that matches without having to pay $1500 for leather.

Also, I just wanted to verify that selecting piano black makes the large, oval-shaped ring on the door black.

Thanks!

 

I know someone here has this combo. I want to see it!

 

I am planning to order my car quite the same, i am in a budget too and cant justify $1500 for leather.Here is a pic i found of a fellow member.Mine would be the same + Chrome Line.Of course with leather would be much nicer,but still i think leatherette is nice.



Hope i help, i too would like to see other pictures,this is the only one i could find.Theses are the stock gray/black seats i believe,though in the picture i see a blueish hint.

 

i believe when you don't select a color line you get "dark grey" not black. i don't think there is a black option.

i found this with leatherette and piano black

 

This pic looks like the cream color line and the paino black color line ...but note that these seats are not the standard MINI S seats, they look like one of the leather options, possibly the blue .
I have ordered the piano black interior surfaces w/ the leatherette standard MINI S sport seats. I believe the door ring is black, as well as the dashboard surfaces.

 

Looks like leatherette to me....

 

It looks like leatherette to me

When you get the piano black the dash pieces and door rings are also black, hence why the pic above has PB door rings.

 

Alright, here's mine... sorry about the quality of the pics, they're from my camera phone!

Piano black. Leatherette seats. Black interior with no accents. Love it!!

 

Nice, I think that's what I want. If you happen to take some better quality pics I won't complain. :P

 

I'll be taking some tomorrow night and leatherette seats with piano black interior surface is my spec until I rip both out in the next month or so.

 

just make sure you get the anthracite headliner to finish the look, I get nothing but compliments on the interior and everyone assumes the seats are real leather. I wouldn't swap it for any of the other options even if they'd been free.
I also added a black 8-ball shift **** from Whalen to finish the interior off.

 

anthracite headliner, piano black, sport seats in leatherette, rubber floor mats

 

I wish i woulda known about the anthracite headliner when i ordered =(

 

Ah, that DOES look pretty slick. Do you have any more pics?

As for the anthracite, I'll be getting it. It comes standard on the JCW.

 

FYI:

I have this combo. I love the way it looks HOWEVER,

If I were to order my car. (I found mine at a dealership) I wold think twice about the piano black because of the smearing and fingerprints that linger on it. I am not a total neat freak but still find myself keeping cloth in my car to wipe the doors and dash down many times per week. It is quick and no biggy, but, this finish really shows everything... Just wish someone would have told me that. Good luck.

But, I do love the way it looks.

 

I have seen people say this. Is it really that bad, though? I mean, how much do you or others touch this part of the dash?

At any rate, I think it'd be worth keeping a microfiber cloth somewhere and wiping it down. I'd much prefer an all dark interior to one that's part black and part silver.

 

Actually, The dash will always have some on it when you use the "secret compartment" or the even the regular glove box.

I see it on the doors mostly. I would have to say. The look may be worth the wipe.....

I love it. I do know that if I had the brushed silver or something it would not have this finger smudge effect.

Just keep a towel in the car. No biggy. Sorry to scare you off... Great look but.....

 

Here is one from a car that was on the lot when we went to test drive. Second photo is one my son took when we were testing driving a non-Clubman from the back seat, just funny.

 

I had a car with a piano black trim for 4 years and think I remember getting sick of it. But it wasn't quite as pronounced as the Mini's. I honestly like both the black and the stock silver. Also what you'll notice with the black is that it tends to have almost like "scratch" lines in it... kind of like swirl marks you get on black paint. It becomes more noticeable as you get used to it. I'm definitely not picky enough to require cleaning it, I just clean it when I clean the interior every once in a while.

 

Hmm i was gonna get the piano black but now im not so sure... i may go with the english oak now, cuz i kinda get the best of both worlds cuz arent the door rings still done in PB??

 

I wasn't a fan of the EO in the MCS I drove a few days ago. Maybe if the steering wheel, shifter, etc. were to match it'd be a different story. I dislike when tiny parts are a different color than the rest of the interior. Takes away from the theme, or something, I think.

 

Yes on the door in PB.

 

Here's another, its kind of dark though

 

Nice. That settles it, Piano Black and Dark Grey it is. Now to decide what seat material...

 

i dont think mine is dark gray, i didnt pay an extra. does paying extra for the dark gray make it leather?
