Anthracite headliner survey (and petition)

In seeing the interest in the anthracite headliner as an option (and MINI's plans to not continue it on the 2005s) I wanted to post a survey to see if it was offered at what price points would it be considered. If we can get enough survey results and comments I'll forward this to MINI in support of bringing it back as an option.

Please see the survey above and make your vote known!

Here is the original thread of discussion about this topic

I want to know why tan isn't offered on the tan interior cars... Grey or anthracite just looks wrong...

Hey everybody!

I finnally got a chance while Petitiononline.com was actually up to post a petition.

Please everybody lets sign this and see if we can sway MINI to bring the Headliner back. The poll results haven't been very good but i hope we can get this going again! I'm surprised this isn't something people are more involved in!

Sign the petition!

Hmmm, 65 people replied to the above pole saying they would like to have the anthracite headliner back, but only 23 people have signed the petition ... not looking good

How many signatures were on the rear fog light petition?

first post:smile: !


my fiancee and i will be ordering an MCS in march. we have always owned volkswagens. i was unaware of this option until now, and would be very interested in a dark headliner. we drive with windows down quite a bit and the light colered headliners seem to attract alot of dirt, must be the filthy air in washington dc .
i voted for paying up to $300

It looks like 20.51% of those polled will be happy...

Rumor has the anthracite headliner coming back as a $200 option:

Not that it means much, but the anthracite headliner is now an option on the MINIUSA configurator. I would assume this means dealers would have info on it, but I've yet to find an actual order code.
