Interior Feedback Wanted.

I would like some feed back on a combination I'm thinking about.

Piano black dash W/ cream White line w/ std leatherette (going to have custom leather work down latter) and Wood Sport Steering Wheel

Does anyone else have it or have a picture of it?

Would this look Good?

Thanks

I think it would look nice. I personally would a wood shift ***. And the chrome line.

Piano black looks great but can be prone to scratching.

I went with Eng Oak and cream color line. No wood steering wheel but it would look good IMHO. I also have the chrome to complete the retro feel.

I agree with sketch, if you add wood shifter **** and e-brake handle it should really top it off.

I love the piano black/cream combo. But if you are getting the wood MFSW, why not go for the English oak? And a +1 to the wood shift **** to complete the look.

For my car (currently on order), I wanted a simple black and white interior and exterior. PW/B with black cloth, piano black, cream colorline and a little chrome to set it off.

Thanks for the input, I did also have the chrome on the dash in my head as well.

I believe the Wood steering wheel comes with the shift ****. It does not show it on the Mini site but it does state it?

I have been going back and forth with the English oak and piano black but I was feeling like the black would be just a bit different and would not compete with the wood on the wheel and shifter, maybe it would pop those items more?

Really nice! Now I'm not sure about the piano black.

Wow, it's amazing how a little color combo can totally change the personality of the vehicle. Looks really good. Very classy.

It shows the wood/chrome shift **** only if you select a manual tranny. If you are getting an auto I am not sure. Ask your dealer or maybe someone here will know.

If you can go to your dealership and look at the different interior options, do it! You will get a lot of different opinions here but the pics of actual interiors really do help. I had to make the 130mi/rt drive twice to see everything in person. And why not take another test drive while there.

I was lucky that they had a '09 JCW with piano black, black cloth, cream colorline, chrome and anthracite headliner.
