Ordered Hot Choco Seats and CL, what color is the doors?

Not able to get much info, but I know someone here can answer...

I ordered a '12 Cabrio with hot choco seats and color line, with a English Oak dash area...

I was told that unlike most dash areas, the oval will be black on my car, not oak... but I see a lot of pics of peeps with cool "upgraded" seats, and the door areas are the same color... but not seen a lot of hot choco pics...

What color will be doors be?

Hot Chocolate or Carbon Black, whichever you choose. The HC is my favorite, have a convertible just like yours on the showroom floor.

This might help...if not I tried!!

http://www.miniusa.com/#/MINIUSA.COM-m, then click on the Convertible at the bottom of the page, it is decked out in Hot Chocolate, this may answer your question.

I ordered English Oak too. The pictures look really nice but the dealer didn't have any that I could check out in person so I had to take a leap of faith. Have you seen the Oak in person? I am hoping it looks as good as in the pictures.

I have seen it twice. It is not as deep as you want it to be, but I think it looks great. The pics from the dealer look like they were crafted for the dash of a Rolls...

I did notice that your door bar that holds the leather handle is also going to be oak looking. Only dash color that does that....
