step 4 option 'dash, door, trim' you can upgrade to 'dark gray' for $250 - that's what I didn't do, just so ya know. mine is just the stock 'dark gray'

Ok i dont want to start a new thread so i will just ask my interior question here.

For the accents on the dash, like the cream line, rooster red, and mellow yellow... etc. What is that material. And does anybody know if it gets dirty easily. Cuz im leaning more towards the lighter colors like Cream or MY, and afraid that it will show dirt.

Ohh, I get it - I was adding CP leather and when you do that, it adds the Dark Gray color line automatically.

maybe it's the tint, maybe it's because I don't need to use a key (comfort access), but I rarely get any fingerprints on the piano black parts. I usually use the secret compartment to stash the garmin & radar detector which I only pull out on the weekend roadtrips.
Like the sunroof, some options really depend on where you live & where you keep your car; if you live somewhere dusty and you're a bit OCD you might want to skip it.

My scheme for mine is Piano Black, Red colorline, chrome line, anthracite headliner and cloth seats. I am adding Piano Black center stack stickers from Aesthetic Creation and working on covering the MFSW insets in gloss balck vinyl as well as adding satin black guage faces. The cloth check pattern is not very noticeable and darker than the leatherette. I flip flopped on the cloth and leatherette for long time but decided to go with cloth. I like the look a little better. And because the interior is so dark I opted for the sunroof. I really like how it turned out.

One thing to remember [I didn't knwo until after delivery] if you go with the base seat materials. You DO NOT get lumbar support unless you order some form of leather. The other thing that steered me away from leather is the "butt dimples" i have seen on every MINI with any age on it. But as I always say, go with what YOU will like, I'm not paying you payment every month so us "Nammers" can give opinions and ideas but only YOURS is the one that matters. No matter what, everytime you get out it and glance back, or approach it to get in, you'll always think "Damn, that is a nice car." I still do after 6 months.

Assuming you're talking about the pics with the grey-ish dash and door handle thingies, it's the standard color line. AFAIK the dark gray one is lighter in color than the standard one, which is gray itself.

I'm thinking of piano black without a sunroof. Can anyone tell me if there is glare that comes off the piano black plastic in sunlight? And if so is it an issue when driving? Thanks.

I've never noticed it when driving, and I have a sunroof.
