Stock Headliner VS Anthracite Headliner

Does anyone have any pictures of both the stock headliner and anthracite headliner? I know what the colors look like, but I'm ordering a Dark Silver MINI/Black-Grey Seats/Anthracite Interior, and I want to know how the stock headliner looks on that. Should look fine, but I wanna double check.

Thanks,
Jonathan

I'd go for the Anthracite headliner too, it's great!

Go for the dark headliner also it includes the a,b and c post trims.

That way you dont get to see the white trims inside the front screen!

I was considering a similar interior combo for a Mini I ordered 3 days ago. My sales person suggested that the interior might look too busy with the black/grey seats, and a different shade of light grey headliner, so she suggested the anthracite headliner. It made sense to me, but I ended up buying a body color (Chili Red) interior with black/red seats. I did not get the anthracite headliner as I want a less dark interior.

If you're going with the anthracite interior, get the anthracite headliner--it looks much better with the pillars dark rather than grey. As an added plus, there have been issues with the grey liner discoloring (especially if you have a sunroof) over time; not a problem with the anthracite liner.

I have the exact same interior as you're looking at; it looks great!! The light grey headliner/pillars just don't go well with the anthracite interior; I'd either go with the anthracite headliner with the anthracite interior, or if you want to stay with the stock headliner, switch the interior to silver or alloy patina.

I have DS/DS MCS with the anthracite headliner. It looks much classier with this colour combo than the lighter coloured headliner.

Anthracite interior and headliner is the way to go!! Just matches all in and really makes the interior look great!!! I am really glad that I got the both and I don't think it makes the interior too dark.

INMHO the anthracite, hands down, looks better in most applications. I have it in my PW/B, Panther Black seats,MCS and I ordered it in my CR/B JCW ( ), English Leather seats,MCS. I suppose its just a coincidence that the gray is standard and the anthracite headliner is a $200 option in the States .
