Mini USA PLEASE give us the Anthracite Headliner back! I don't care if it's a cost option like the rest of the Planet.

It's bad enough to not get the leather/cloth and cloth options the rest of the World gets, but to tease us with the Anthracite Headliner and then take it away is plain cruel!

You can add all of the accessories in the chrome package at the dealership (or at home) out of the current accessory catalog. The only exception is the chrome strip on the hatch. I don't know how difficult it would be to replace that.

Gabe – thanks for the armrest info. Did you install one in your car and if you did which one?

By: Gabe

An optional armrest will be available on the premium pack or as a stand alone option (along with auto headlights) starting with 1/05 build dates.

I thought that the 2005s were supposed to have armrests standard. None of the new 2005 pictures show the Mini Armrest. When will it become available and will it be standard or extra charge item?

Thanks in advance :)

Not to sound to harsh… or to push the anthracite issue too far. But for all those that think MINI is the only one with a light grey colored headliner… think again. I tested about 20 different vehicles ranging in price, manufacturer, and type before ending up with my first choice of the MCS… had to be sure about things. I would have to say of those I have seen recently, a lot of other car companies have started going with the light grey. I am sticking to my original thoughts… I am really glad I was able to get the option. Only wish I didn't have to settle for the three spoke wheel :(… oh well it is still a MINI and it is still going to tons of fun to drive.

I love the Anthracite headliner. Can't we see about asking MINI to have the headliner as a cost option? I am willing to pay for it as it looks stunning! Gabe–is that possible? What do others think?

Anyone have pics of the 05 MCS with the exterior chrome package? I don't like the chrome strips on the Coopers, but I don't know if the MCS would look the same. It doesn't look like the front bumper would be the same, but wanted to see if anyone could verify that visually. I should be getting a prod date any day now, so I am short on time if I want to add that option. Thanks!!

RB – that's a motion detector. It has to be there.

So if I had gotten the alarm system I would have had that ugly box? Strange. What, they ran out of room under the hood or is this some kinda trick motion detector thingy?

What a shame....this is the first I've seen of the Anthracite Headliner. It's such a classy compliment to the anthracite dash option that I really can't believe they're cancelling it!

Has there been talk of maybe bringing it back in '06?

Cool, thanks charlie…i didn't get the alarm, probably why i didn't recognize that box.

Okay lets see if I can answer some of these questions.

Does the 2005 MINI have LEd tail-lights? No (more info]

Pics of Hyper Blue? Yes we've posted several. Here are two: 1 / 2

Will Hyper Blue be available on the Cooper after 1/05. In the US yes it will according to this. Not 100% about the interior though.

The box holds the sensor for the MINI alarm, which is a dealer-installed accessory. Everything is pre-wired from 04 models on; so you can just pop the cover and install the motion detector in this spot if you purchase the alarm and want to install it yourself
