Anthracite Roofliner

On www.mini.ca

Anthracite Roofliner - Make the inside count just as much as they out side

Does anyone have a picture of theirs? Because with that kind of discription it didn't really describe anything at all!

Thanks!

Randy

Headliner

I'll post a picture later this weekend for you. No contest between anthracite headliner and that light gray standard color in my book. I got mine with the anthracite dash as well. Cannot be beat.

It's 5am and still dark. I'm just prepping for a "North Shore" tour up highway 61 in Minnesota's Lake Superior. Fall colors should be awesome! Motor on.

Incidentally, if you're in Canada you can only get the anthracite roofliner as part of the sports pkg (foglights + DSC + 17" S-lites with all season or performance tires + anthracite roofliner).... on the S, anyway, not sure if that applies to the non-S.

I just ordered mine! :smile:

It's a very nice option if you want that darker look. I think it's gotten a lot of attention because it's a new-ish feature, and we're all over that kinda thing. I prefer the lighter interior...so just go with what you personally like.

I ordered it

I just ordered my 06 MCS. For the interior we ordered the Cordoba beige leather with Anthracite dash. I ordered the anthracite roofliner because I thought that the lighter colored one would add yet another feature to catch your eye. My mother-in-law is an interior designer and I have learned much from her over the years. In this case,since the center of my seats would be a contrasting color to the doors, dash and sides of the seat I didn't want anymore. However, my second choice was to do the all black seats with anthracite dash, in that case I would have left the roofliner the lighter color since some contrast would be needed in that setup.
I was lucky because when I got to the dealer to do my actual order they had my exact car except the roofliner and I knew the I would like it better with the Anthracite, which is why I didn't buy the one at the dealer.
They also had 8-10 other cars in the showroom some with the lighter and some without, and I don't think any of them looked "bad" , both roofliners are neutral enough that it will work either way.
Good luck,
Annette

I don't care for it. Makes the interior too dark. Overpriced and overhyped IMO.

The anthracite roof liner looks great.

However, "Wahoo" is a DS/W. I have anthracite dash and standard light gray roof liner. I like the way interior repeats the exterior.

I just put a picture of it up in my gallery. I am very pleased with it - a nice integrated look for the interior of the car.

LOL, honestly guys, lighten up. You bunch of MINI fanatics, arguing about head liner colors

Its a color, that means its mostly a personal taste thing

I have my MCS with anthracite headliner for a year already, I got them when it was still free of charge. I personally like it, the only drawback is it shows the finger scratches easier. They just show as white marks.
