Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm curious if anyone with a MCS has the Space Cloth already. How is it? I've only seen pictures unfortunately. The front seats look good but I think the rear has too much silver.

I have a Cooper with the space cloth....I would assume it is the same as in the S....
I love it, but then again I have a Pure Silver Mini so it goes really well with the exterior of my car....
I would check to see if your dealer has anything with space cloth on the lot for you to look at so you could get the best idea about it....

The space cloth isn't as silvery as the pics on MINI2 made it out to be. I have seen it in person, and it's pretty nice.

I ordered my MCS with the space cloth without seeing it in person 1st. I was at the dealership a couple of weeks ago and saw one on the lot with the cloth and was really happy I chose it. I think it's going to look great in a LY/B car. It's not that silver, and the seat bolsters are a more solid/darker fabric.

Enjoy.

A shot of the space cloth interior can be found on the bottom of this page. The color is very true on the seats, but the dash appears a bit blue in the photo for some reason. The back seats are more silver than panther black. Looks good to me though! I really like the way the outside is dark silvers and blacks, and the inside is bright silvers and dark greys. Very nice play on color with the Darksivler/Black w/ space cloth.

I finally saw the Dark Grey Space Cloth on a MCS for the first time when I took delivery recently and it is awesome. The dark grey is just that, not silver as some pictures seem to show. They're firm and comfy. They hold you through the twisties. The seat heaters heat up really fast and feel really good. So I really recommend the cloth verses the leatherette. The leatherette is just too hard to the touch for me.
