I bought some rubber floor mats today for my MINI. They are quite pricey, £39 inc vat for all 4, but they are really good quality with the wing logo on them and they are much better than the velour mats at this time of year. I wonder if BMW will give me commission now if I get a few MINI2-ers to buy a set? ;)

I guess 500% mark-up on MINI accessories just ain\'t enough!

Thats cheap!!!!!! Rubber mats for my Fiesta set me back £50 quid 8D 8D 8D

Did you get these from your dealer? If not where did you get them? I have moved into a new flat which is still a bit of a building site causing havoc to my interior!

space_cadet · Nov 6th, 2001, 04:39 AM

Do you have the part numbers for the set??

gazzaman28 · Nov 6th, 2001, 12:06 PM

Yes they are available at MINI dealers. Mine took a day to order.

Fronts are BM51.47.0.010.575 at £21.28+vat
Rears are BM51.47.0.010.576 at £11.92+vat

These rubber mats are really brill. They lift the interior into a bold designer icon. They are very thick, rubbery, and deeply sculpted. The original velour mats were passe' in comparison. We can't believe that these mats are so good....seriously! Get some, and the interior feels completely different to the original. The person who thought these up deserves a medal. They even smell good!

The fit is perfect to the milimetre, and they are 10 times easier to clean than the originals. The sound level in the car is quieter too.

As regulars to the Forum will know, I dont often give praise to MINI for getting it right. But this time its spot on! 10/10!

Red Cooper · Nov 25th, 2001, 07:16 AM

Can you guys post a couple of pictures of the rubber mats please?

Cheers

monsta · Dec 3rd, 2001, 06:41 AM

Any chance of those pics please ????

pandora2000 · Dec 8th, 2001, 06:45 AM

Thanks for the part numbers.

I went in and asked my dealer to order the mats for me (third time of doing so), yet again he insisted they were not available...

Imagine the humble pie when I produced the part numbers and suggested he key them in to his PC.

Result = Mats now on order

But definitely the best post I've read so far!!!

A couple of things to try which may counteract the pull/drift syndrome:

1) all the mats in the Right Hand footwell
2) a mat jammed in the OS door glass to create drag on that side

Alternatively....wheel flaps ....on the o/s only?

Just bought some of those famous mats. I think they suit the car

The patterns on them are the same design as the outside of the heater control knobs!!

I never thought I say this about rubber floor mats.... but they really do look cool!

alansingfield · Dec 17th, 2001, 02:21 PM

R1,

Where did you get that keyring, it looks really cool!

My dealer gave me a weird oval one which doesn't really fit the key, I'd like to change it.

Alan.

monsta · Dec 17th, 2001, 02:33 PM

Available from your dealer, priced £5

smiffy · Dec 17th, 2001, 03:34 PM
