I have read a lot about the anthracite headliner. A lot of people recommend it. What is the benefit of it?

 

IMO it ties allthe black inside the car together

 

Aesthetics. I think it looks sleeker with my color scheme. The anthracite headliner is black instead of the standard light grey. That's the only real benefit.

 

I got it. Worth every mili penny.

 

I didn't get it because the sunroof is taking a lot of the roof area. Also I have grey on the leatherette seats and standard dash colors.

Now if I went piano black and didn't get the sunroof, then I would of gotten it.

 

Personally I like the darker roof console with the switches for the sunroof and ambient lighting....the standard light grey version looks kind of cheap to me.....

 

No benefit, total waste of $. Who cares what color is your headliner...it's just a headliner. I don't get why it is even an option...

 

All of the Cooper Fashinistas love it. Otherwise, who cares.

 

it looks good.

 

That hurts... right here.... *sniffle*

That's like saying 'who cares what color your mirror caps are'

It's all about you-ification

 

I passed on it with the silver and gray and black, its still matches also writing a check for it so, keeping costs down, all but for the navi

That's like saying 'who cares what color your mirror caps are'

No one cares. I was just asked for an opinion....

 

Thank you everyone... I made my mind up on the headliner

 

So too Spendy?

 

I personally feel the standard gray headliner looks cheap, the anthracite gives the interior a more quality look (in my opinion).

 

I think it a personal opinion ....if it was up to me i would buy fogs instead, however NEVER use them either:(

 

of course it's a personal opinion, ...what's yours?

 

not too spendy... but i will have sunroof and that will take a lot of space. options add up so i am weeding out the stuff i can do without. I am getting cold weather pack, convenience, premium, xenon head, brushed alloy int., sirius sat, bonnet stripes, white turn sig, . 27.k I think thats good enough

 

Exactly. But I've found on this site if someone asks you the opinion of something and you don't like it and you actually express your opinion a lot the people who like it get all upset.

It's an opinion. Sheeeesh.

 

yup if there weren't opinions we would all be the same. thanks

 

I thought anthracite looked nice, but my SA advised against it as creating "too dark" of an interior with other black upholstery options. Also said that the mood lighting showed better with the lighter headliner. I went standard.

As an FYI: our $77K Range Rover Rhino came with a black interior and grey headliner. When I brought it up, my wife simply said...hmm I never noticed, and even more, never cared!

LOL!

Honestly, many MC options are pretty "gimmicky" in my opinion, and are more a statement of personal fashion than added functionality, but that is just middle-aged man speaking.

 

Isn't the headliner exactly the same, except for the color? If so, why is it extra? I mean.. you can get white or black roof for the same price.

 

Now there's a very good question!!!!

 

Same reason why they charge for the white turn signal covers? Because they can?
