Need an Interior color opinion

I have ordered my new MINI with the gray w/ black door leatherette option. I like the leatherette better than the space fabric.Speaking of the space cloth, I have read about the rumors of them loosing their supplier on the fabric. It no longer lets you choose that as an option in the configurator. It is still listed, just will not let you select it. I keep going back to the configurator and am having problems deciding again!
My car will be Hyper Blue with body color interior. Do you think it would look better with the black and gray seats or the black only seats?
Please thought/opinions?
Should go into production soon as it is to be delivered in Feb, just trying to get the last minute changes!
Anyone have some pics?
Thanks!

I prefer the black leatherette, only because the seat is divided as opposed to the one big piece of gray leatherette. Just a design thing for me. I think the gray would look nice if they would do the same division of the seat, never understood the reason they don't. Either way you'll be happy, I've seen both colors and would have been good with it.
What color dash and headliner are you going with? That could make the choice more obvious.

As mentioned before, the dash will be hyper blue body color.
I didnt opt for the anthracite headliner. So it will be the stock color.
I also noticed the design difference between the two colors. Weird how they did that.

In that case I'd go with the gray, even out the two colors!

On my 06 MCS HB/W with anthacite dash & light colored headliner I went with black/grey leatherette. To my eye the black/grey looks a bit classier than the all black leatherette. Just my .02 here. Either way you'll have a great little car.

I have the Cordoba Beige. I really like the two-tone effect.
