Anyone know where I can buy these oem parts for a 2010 right hand drive R56 S? I'm sick or my light coloured interior parts.

 

Dealer

 

You could paint/wrap them for about 1/10000 the price!

 

1. My dealer SUCKS for getting pricing for parts they don't have in stock! Come live here and you'll see what I mean.

2. I thought of wrapping the panels, but I would still need the dark headliner.

Maybe I'll check with a U.S. dealer. There really shouldn't be any difference between RHD and LHD when it comes to the roof and panel parts.

 

Do a custom headliner. There are plastic dyes that you can use on the plastic parts. and rewrap the carpeted parts.

 

I'd love if you could report back with what you find. I've been kicking around the idea of changing to anthracite too.

 

You can find part numbers at realoem.com. I have ordered parts from Mini of South Atlanta before. They are very helpful in making sure you get the right part in the right color.

 

Check with this MINI dealer:

Thanks for that mdsbrain

 

I just bought some simulated suede (it stretches, unlike real suede) and wrapped the Headliner and pillars. Still need to purchase all the small trim inserts and sunvisors but it definitely looks good.

 

That's why I want to find it OEM. That way, I'll def have the matching panels.

 

Thank you, mdsbrain!

DVUS CPRS, I can confirm that the headliners of RHD and LHD vehicles are the same but the dash pieces will be different and we will be unable to get those here in the US. PM me with you address and last 7 of your VIN if interested and I will get you a quote and shipping cost to Bermuda.

 

Just realising you're in Texas. That's going to be quite a bit for shippingI'll take the quote still. Thanks.

 

Have you tried removing the headliner and spraying it with black fabric dye? It comes in cans, and works great. I used it for the rear package tray on my old 325Ci.

I would prefer to have a perfect match between the headliner and panels. Thanks though.

 

Wrap/recover the headliner and buy the other panels. The headliner is the most expensive piece.

 

Sell the car and buy the one you want.


If you use cheap suede, and park outside, it's not going to last. There's a reason why Alcantara costs $115/yard.

 

Well sir, that would be possible IF I lived in the U.S.
However, here in Bermuda, when you buy a car, it's yours until you sell it. There's no leasing and trade-in here. Not to mention, I have the car I want, just not the headliner. PLUS I have the only Cooper S on the island and the transport control dept is not allowing anymore S models in due to it being too fast. Mine snuck in under the radar. So it's not as simple as you may think. Thanks for the idea though.

 

You could always move to where the cars are...lol

Just kidding.

 

I could, but then I wouldn't be the fastest lol.
