Yesterday I made the 100+ mile trek to the closest Mini Dealer and ordered an '05 MCSa (my wife never mastered a stick and with an 18 mos old we can't afford an emergency and a car she can't drive). This car will replace the BRG '02 MC I bought in May of 2002 which I have thoroughly enjoyed (and is now up for sale with 28,800 miles). I ordered the new Mini in Pepper White with a Black roof and Anthracite interior. When I returned home and used the MiniUSA configurator I started to wonder what the interior headliner color would be - I saw an option that indicated that a matching headliner was extra??? For those that ordered an anthracite interior - what are the pillar and headliner colors??????

Thanks!!!

 

[font=&quot]Congratulation OKMini and hope you see you motor on you new MCSa soon. Don't forget to post some pic

Currently, unless you order the optional, extra cost anthracite headliner, the standard equip is light grey for headliner/pillars.

 

...it should look fine either way - but if you're concerned about it (I personally prefer the anthracite/anthracite) and don't mind paying the extra $200, I would try calling the dealer early tomorrow. There may still be time to modify the order.

 

Thanks for the heads up

When I saw I the option on the website I thought I might be getting the standard light grey pillars and headliner - not what I personally want

I guess a call to the dealer is in order first thing in the morning.....

 

I got an MCSa in PW/B with standard headliner that looks pretty good with the gray/black vinyl seats (and silver interior parts because I wanted to make sure the uprights from the console match the dash). I also got the sunroof (it needs a decal for more shade) so there isn't much headliner anyway. Today a motorcycle cop pulled up beside me and asked how much the car cost and if it was a 5 speed. When I told him the price and that it's an automatic he seemed pleased and told me he liked it a lot. It's that kinda car.
