I´ve just ordered a PW/B Clubman D and i speced the Hot chocolate leather lounge interior on it. Though I have not seen so many pictures of it yet and Im wondering if i would stick with it or maybe change my order to black leather lounge instead.

What u think?

Anyone who has seen or have pics on the Hot chocolate steeringwheel, gerknob and handbreak?

Cheers

black for resale , chocolate if only vased on personal taste

Lots of pictures here - these were taken at the Clubman Preview day last year up at the Factory

MINI Clubman Preview Day - Oct '07 - a set on Flickr

Enjoy

Hi Freddo. Do a search of the MINI cherished site, ther you will come across photos of the chocolate world interior as it was on many of the launch cars that dealers are now selling on.

[Freddo]

So you really think black is better for resale than HC.
Yeah maybe it is, but I dont think Im gonna sell the clubbie in minimum 2years.

But the black lounge looks gooood though, Im torned.. But right now I lean more to stick with the HC lounge..

Defo keep the Hot Chocolate - Looks fantastic

[neston4nomads]

Id get the hot chocolate, as you can only get it on the clubman, whilst black is also available on the hatch

I think if I'd chosen HC as the body colour then I would have gone HC inside. I can't remember - does the HC lounge leather have a cream trim at all.

So the answer is HC to me. Very nice combo (but they are all lovely )

Here are some pictures of our Clubbie's interior to whet your appetite, you won't be disappointed if you have gone for the same colour combination.

Wow, looks even better than I could imagine.. Totally convinced
Thanks!!

Got the nearly same exterior interior combo as the last post, and I haven't regretted it for a minute. I went for the antracite roof lining too-it's a bit dark, but then you don't have the pale grey roof lining competing with the cream/brown look. Shame they don't do cream in the ceiling-then it really would be perfect! I think the black lounge leather would be too depressing.

The hot chocolate interior is stunning. However, being dog owners, we opted for the black leatherette just for durability. And to be honest, the leatherette is quite a nice material. Much better than we expected.

[Freddo]

I'm also a dog owner, but not to a hairy dog. so I think i would be ok, Hope he fits in the back

here's the total spec

*PW/B
*Pepperpak
*Bi-xenon's
*auto aircon
*sportbutton
*Hot chocolate leather lounge
*Hot chocolate gearknob and handbreak, with HC gaskets
*antrachite headliner
*Radio boost (had Hi-fi in my previous R56 and it was not worth the extra cost)
*Piano dash
*18" GP wheels
*white indicators
*heated seats
*black bonnetstripes
*JCW front bumper

what u all think?

Does anyone have photos of the Hot Chocolate cloth/leather interior? I have only seen pics for full lounge leather.

Edit: I have found a grand total of 1 photo, by CapriGT. Anybody else?

[Freddo]

Here´s another one..

I'm picking up my clubman cooper D with the full hot chocolate interior including the steering wheel, gear and handbrake gaiters in hot chocolate. Oh and the exterior is hot chocolate too! I'm hoping it's going look the dog's B******s with everything co-ordinated. It's a shame the Ipod connection is so expensive for what it is. That would finished the car off nicely.

[s-a-l-t-i-r-e]

Yeah Ipod control very expensive, try this :
Harman Kardon - Drive+Play - iPod car adaptor driveplay drive+play iPod car interface iPod interface car adaptor iPod adaptor car audio iPod car stereo iPod iPodcarstereo iPodcaraudio driveandplay drive play ipod,nano ipod in car apple

much cheaper option, just ordered one...

I should think Hot Chocolate must become the hardest colour for resale purposes: it might not look bad new but imagine after a few years...remember the Austin Allegro in a similar colour!!
