Headliner

[rimfeld]

Could someone please post a picture of the standard headliner. I've looked but can't seem to find a picture, I've seen the anthracite and leaning towards it but I will have a sunroof so there would not be much headliner showing. Would it be worth paying 200.00 more for it?

Thanks

no pic but from what I hear the standard is nicer becuase the pillars from the dash to the roof are the standard light grey colour regardless of which roof lining you opt for. The standard roof lining apparently makes a better colour combo.

It has been said that it is a shame they didn't make the pillars a darker colour to match the anthracite.

I think I have also read that MINI are discontinuing the anthracite lining, even though it is a facelift option, apparently costing too much?

The dark anthracite I guess would make the cabin very dark, whereas the light grey makes it quite spacious, I am currently in the same dillema as you as I;m changing my car (ONE) to a Cooper.

Think I'm gonna keep the light grey.

Hopefully someone will post a pic soon.

Incorrect. The A pillars are anthracite also.

It was discontinued in the states but brought back by popular demand.

Nope. I was told the same thing before I even saw mine. Not dark at all.

I have the anthracite trim and anthracite headliner and everything is anthracite - A pillars, downtubes, everything. Very formal and elegant looking. I have the sunroof and believe me, there is still lots of headliner to see. If you keep away from the chrome option, it looks spectacular.

I've got Hyper Blue with body color interior panels, sunroof and anthracite headliner and I think my interior looks great.

Why do u say, "if you keep away from the chrome option?" I would think that the chrome rings around the gauges and the anthracite would look great.

Take a look in my gallery - I've got photos of the anthracite headliner and the body color interior with the chrome.
