The ones I have match Tuscan Beige perfectly. Look at my gallery for pix. Mine are the black/natural dot. They are the most excellent mats ever. Mine are 15 months old and look brand new. I can't hardly clean them, just beat them upside down every few months to get the dirt off. No vacuuming or anything. Amazing stuff

+1 to Newt. Cocomats are pricey, but worth it imo. No need to worry about that velcro disc, they're so heavy and durable they sit there and don't move an inch. They are also custom made for MINI Coopers so no worries about fit. Finally, they trap dirt well, are super easy to clean (just beat them once in a while with a broom handle) and they wear very nicely. Had mine (#22 black herringbone) for over a year and they don't look like they've aged a week, they shrugged off the winter months like they were nothing.

+1, they're really good (original mats suck IMO).

With the Cocomats, did you guys get rear mats or just the fronts?

Hehe, actually have a mid-size Maglite for protection, and what do you know I've used that to beat my Cocomats too

Got the full set here. In retrospect it probably wasn't necessary because I have people in the back seat maybe once a month tops (and the fact that the rear mats are so tiny they are practically invisible in the car), but having the full set completes the look imo. They look really sharp in the Mini.

Yep, you guys sold me on getting the Cocomats, the problem is they have too many great color combinations to choose from. I wish they made a Natural with Black Dot combination, but no luck.
Nother quick question for you, from the pictures, they look like there's a lot of loose fibers in the weave, is that something that goes away, or am I just looking too much into the pictures on their site?

No there are definitely some loose fibers that pop up in the mats , but to be honest with you I couldn't tell you whether or not they are due to wear or if they came like that from the factory.

These are over a year old and were pulled filthy straight out of the Cooper. You can tell they're custom fit just by looking at the rear mats - they're as snug as a bug in a rug:

The loose fiber look is probably looking too close at the pix. The fibers don't come loose and mess up the carpet I can tell you that. I bought the $100 (for 4) Mini black carpet ones when I got the car like a lot of other people and they're junk compared to the $130 Cocomats (for 2). The rubber backing weighs a ton and they don't move at all. They fit great just move 'em all the way back against the ridge under the seat release bar.
