Black with white dots. I'll take photos once they are in my new car. When I was ordering them, I was concerned that the white dots might be "too white" but I don't think they are now that I have seen the mats. I think they will look great in the car, especially with the cream color line dash. I think this color combo will look great in your car, Msteadman! I plan on lugging the mats up to the dealer so I can put them in when I pick up the car. I say lug because the UPS package was 17 lbs! (in a big envelope.)

And yes, they do smell good! I think they will smell even better in a MINI, though.

I think you'll like the white dots. I have the "tan/khaki" dots (on a blue background) on mine, and I think the tan colour would be too dark with the cream colour line.

One word of caution - when you install the mats, make sure that the rear edge is as far back as it can possibly go. I originally thought that my mats didn't fit, because the front edge of the mat was riding up on the gas pedal. Turns out, they're a *perfect" fit for the floor area, so that means that you have to make sure they're aligned just right. Once you have them in place though, nothing will budge them.

Thanks for the advice on placement. I was curious about the "tan/khaki" dots and almost ordered those instead of the white, but I'm glad I opted for white.

Here's how the tan dots look in my car. You can see that they're a lot more "yellow-brown" than "cream", so I think you chose wisely.

Those really look great in your convertible! The tan dots go well with the carbon-fiber dash.

Sounds sweet, thanks! I'm planning on ordering the black with white as well. Just wanna wait for winter to end so I can get proper use out of my OEM rubber ones. The snow around here can be killer, especially with the white dots.

I love them.


Did you get the rear liner as well, or just the front?

I ordered only the "front row," since the back seat gets little use.

I only ordered the front as well, but not by choice; they didn't have a back row liner available when I ordered. Like you, I hardly ever have anyone back there, so I probably won't order the rear set.

It would be nice if the back matched the front, though.

I ordered them on November 1st and received them on the 27th. I think the Thanksgiving holiday slowed delivery as they were shipped on the 16th. But they came from SC so that's a long haul to CA.

Are the CocoMats comfy on bare feet?
I like the cloth mats that came with my Winnie because they're soft as can be, but if they shred pretty quickly the CocoMats seem like a good way to go.

Nope. For the same reasons they are durable, they are not soft.

The black/taupe might be dark, but I don't know. Check out the post above by ScottRiqui that shows the tan dots. Those might work better? Hard to know for sure.

Very nice! Definitely putting in an order for those exact ones once winter is over.

I'm glad today that I have the Floorliners. The first substantial snow of the season left my shoes like snowballs, and the resulting puddle was nicely contained. Not sure how the Cocomats would deal with that. Soaked to the carpet is what I imagine.
