Get the front mats only... I mean who actually sees those tiny little rear mats anyway ? I bought the rear mats for our convertible because you can actually see those when the top is down. For the hardtops... don't need them.

Cocomats for the front only are $130 plus shipping.

Like I said, a premium item that not everyone will see the value in.

They are the $10,000 Persian rug of floor mats.

This is the $250 area rug of floor mats....

If I didn't have the factory rubber mats (which I really like, and fit perfectly), I'd look at the WeatherTech ones. They remind me of the "Monster Mats" I had in the VW.

At least for the R53 series cars, Weather Tech is the manufacturer (OEM) for MINI USA rubber floormats!

I finally went to Coco Mats site and I'm impressed. If I get tired of my OEM rubber mats, I will definitely get some.

You'll be even more impressed if you order samples of the material.... the stuff is so think and heavy.... it's awesome.

If anyone succeeds in getting samples or even a callback from Cocomats, please let me know? I've left 3 voice mails, sent 5 emails and haven't heard one single word back (all over 3 weeks). I'd love to order a set, but am somewhat concerned about their lack of response - especially when I'm looking at spending this kind of money.

Thanks
William

I have the rubber factory "S" mats.

How are other people keeping them clean (ie. scuff marks).

I got the "Clubman" labeled carpet mats, and I think they are great.

Have I missed something?
The website I found showed some mats that looked like something you would buy at the old Straw Market in Nassau, Bahamas.

Does someone have a link to the website you're reffering to?

I'm interested in the Cocomats, but don't want them if they smell like a Pier 1 store. Do they give off any odor?

Yeah, they do make some that look like they are made of straw. That's coconut husk that's apparently not dyed. Here's what you're looking for:

Maybe a slight scent if you stick your nose in them. But really... no. No odor.

I've never noticed ANY odor from mine. Some folks say theirs smell like coconuts for a short time.

I'm surprised if you're not getting a response for that period of time from (800) 461-3533.

I went with cocomats. Had them in an old MGA, always looked good even when forgot to put the top up and it rained. They're thick and tough, kept
feet from sticking through the rusted out floors and ocassionally ( about once a year ) took them out and beat them against a tree and they were as good as new. They outlived the MG. Hope they do the same in the Clubman S.

Are there rubber mats available for the Clubman boot cargo area yet?

I found one under luggage and leisure but the picture is of the hatchback. I'll have to call them to be sure it's a different size. Thanks.

Clubman boot mats

I emailed WeatherTech to ask about the mats. They replied saying they do not yet have the mats. I hope they cancel your order!
