Black Gravity Leather on a Cooper S

Hey every one, finally specking my Cooper S out, and I have a question, I had heard that the center of the gravity leather sport seats were lined with profile leather, the "nubby" kind, any truth to this rumor?

Waiting, officially, since July 12, 2001.
C'mon July 2002!

Is December here yet?

Profile Leather is only available on the Cooper. Check out the brochure picture for differences between it and Gravity Leather:

Leatherette looks the same as Gravity Leather and doesn't cost $1250.

"Leatherette" sounds so bad but looks and feels so good. On the sport seats it was nice and not slippy-slidey. I'm definitely saving the $1250 and getting the Leatherette.

How did you "order" your car?

I was under the impression that no customer spec'd 'S' models will be built until June. Also, HK audio is supposedly delayed until September builds.

hmmmm..
Wasn't aware of any problems w/HK
As far as my order goes, It's probably just sitting on the salesmans desk until it can be sent off to MINI officially in June or whenever. It wasn't any official sheet or anything.

Mine was faxed to the factory today, and yes...H-K is not available at this time.
