mats

I thought I would have got some opinions when I posted this - but got zero response. Maybe it was where it was posted.

Have a look at these mats in red, IMO yeeeeeuch!

got the black ones instead.

In reality the red look more russet brown than chilli red. So try before you buy folks.

see for yourself......

of the choices given i'd go with the black (though for myself I don't like ither one) ... red one draws too much attention to the fact that you have mats

I agree with you. I have the EXACT same interior as you do and even if those mats matched, too much red IMO. The black is much better!

Thanks for finding the time to upload and share. I'm sold on the black now.

Didn't you get carpet mats as standard?

Yes I got the carpet mats, but winter is coming and up here you tend to drag all sorts of grush into the car. These mats are incredibly thick and good quality. Still, time will tell.

They cost £39 including VAT for the set. about £25 for front and £14 for the back.

I will put my original mats in my car when I trade it in or sell it and keep the rubber mats for my JCW MCS next year

(had to type that last bit my wife was looking over my shoulder!!!)

Thanks for the pics. Was going to go for the red but they don't seem to match the rest of the red.

if you think the pic is horrible you should see them in the flesh! serious mistake by whoever decided upon these for the coop. Difficult to describe the colour other than to say it is more of a kind of rusty brown.

Agree with you the Red look terrible. Where did you get them from? Is the supplier on the board?

Thanks in advance

PrivatePit, they look like official MINI accessory rubber footmats to me.

Wow! That surprises me, everything else I have seen from the accessories catalogue looks nice - but they are pants. Glad I decided to go with a set from Halfords.
