Pic Request-Standard seats with Tuscan Beige?

Hi everyone. I've searched and searched, to no avail. I'm beginning to think that I may have been the only one who ordered Tuscan Beige leather on the regular (non-sport) seats in my MC.

Does any one have a photo of this option? I would appreciate it, especially since on the 2009 configurator it looks like now sports seats are mandatory with Tuscan Beige...

Thanks. Tuscan and Oak look really good with BRG. That was my second choice behind AB.

If you could post a pic of the actual front seats, I would be much obliged. I didn't like the bulge in the sports seats, so did not get them, but it is so hard to tell what the interior actually looks like based on the MINI configurator...

Here are some shots that I could take before the shadows got too bad. Hope they help.

Why are some Tuscan seat backs black while some in this thread are the same seat color front and back?

Nikoli, thank you so much. They look great! So much better than on the MINI configurator.

aafflyer, I have not seen black seat backs on a tuscan interior...

From what I've seen in both the 2008 and 2009 configurators, sport seats are required for the tuscan beige interior. I remember building a non-S Cooper at one point, added the Tuscan Beige, and it required the addition of the sport seats. On the S, sport seats are standard. Hope that helps.

I ordered my 2008 MC with Tuscan Beige leather and the non-sport seats. For 2008, only the Lounge leather required sport seats. Now that the configurator has changed to 2009, all leather options require sport seats, but this is a new thing.

I also ordered the Tuscan Beige without ordering sport seats. Some other things have changed for 2009. Like white wheels being premium on some models.
