Does anyone have this color combination (red cloth/black leather with BRG exterior)? Is the 'red' color only on the seat and seatback, not the headrest?

Also, for anyone with the cloth/leather combination seats, how have they held up over time?

Thanks for any info on this one,
Tom

 

With that color combo, it'll feel like it's Christmas all year round.

 

I have the red/black interior. However the exterior is white/black, a classic Mini Cooper color combo. The headrests are blk leather. The interior combo is wearing very well.

In my current Mc I have the Tartan red coth seats and they have held up great in the year I have had the car. I have ordered the cloth/leather Tartan mix for my MCS and I can't wait.

 

I've got the tartan red cloth/black leather on my chili red MCS. After 7k miles it still looks awesome. It's by far my favorite mini interior combo

I know the color combo is a bit off the wall; I was just trying to get a feel for how dominating the red color is on this interior combo. It sounds like it is somewhat subtle.

On any of the colored mini seats, are the seat-backs also colored or are they the color of the surounding vinyl/leather?

These would be easy Q's to ask at a dealer, but the nearest dealer is 70+ miles away...

Thanks for the info so far...

I have the red/black and really like it. My car is black though. The red is pretty bright and in my opinion would look bad with the brg.

 

had a red interior been available in north america on a BRG car when I ordered mine, I would definately have it! Nothing more classic british than a green exterior, with red interior.

I'm so jealous you are ordering it!

 

Very retro combo. Not for everyone, but I know I appreciate it. I wanted the Silver/black top w/ the tartan red interior , but Lola wanted the Blue/white. Blue/white it was.

 

That combo sounds very Scottish! I approve! Maybe a "St. Andrew's Cross" flag for the roof?

 

Actually Id put a Welsh flag on the roof since the Welsh flag is green and white with a Red dragon:

These seats are great. You get the comfort of cloth with some of the look and feel of leather. I'd describe them as red cloth seats with black leather bolsters and headreast. Also the back of the seatback is black.

You need to see some. If you can't get to the dealer easily, maybe you can hook up with someone who has them. Where are you located?
