United-States Grey Profile Leather?

On pg. 32 of the 2006 accessories catalog (USA), there's a picture in the upper right of a light grey 'profile-style' seat in leather or leatherette, although its never listed in the "Chronology" by Miniac. Can anyone confirm its existence?

There's tons of anachronisms throughout that catalog, getting the dealer to recognize this is a pain in butt.

Do you mean two-tone grey?

Different

No, the one in the catalog (I wish I had a scanner - although you can see it on the "floor mats" section of the MINIUSA.com configurator) is completely light grey with the "Profile" dots in the middle.

Also, is there an archive/chronology of available accessories over the past 5 years? (for instance, I can't find any discussion of the Universal Hands-free Kit that I'm putting in my facelift Cooper)

United-States No, the "floor protection" section

If you go to the dealer accessories part (in the configurator), click through to floor mats, you'll see carpet & rubber, in various colors. On a couple of the colors (beige rubber comes to mind) there's part of a front seat pictured, and it appears to be a grey kind that was never listed by your Chronology. See if you can confirm this. Thanks,

I assume you're referring to the following ...



The lighting in the above is wrong ... there never have been any seats with light grey bolsters.

FAQ: What upholstery and interior trim options are offered?

Yep, those are them

I figured it was a lighting issue as well, but that's a significant increase in shade. I'll take the fact that no one has come forward owning seats of that color as proof...

thanks miniac,
