I am desigining a MINI on there site, and I am making the car Velvet Red, and out of good looks I see the Cordoba beige soft leather. I think thiswould look rich, however, I can not get it if i choose the sport package, so my questions are: Is there really any difference in the standard seats vs. the sport, and if any one has the cordoba beige, do they like the interior colorings?I dont think there is that much of a savings if i take everything in the sport package minus the seats, and wheels...I want 17".

 

Rethink the 17".A MCS doesn't have the power to launch the 17' wheels

 

its a standard mini cooper, not the s.

 

"Rethink the 17".A MCS doesn't have the power to launch the 17" wheels"

What is that supposed to mean? Who needs F1 launch control capability?

 

I want to know about the seats and coloring, not the wheels, ill get to those later.

 

There's such a bizarre big-wheel opposition cult on this forum. Never seen anything like it.

Anyway, Cordoba is gorgeous but the non-sport seats on which it is offered are not so great. Cordoba will soon be offered on sport seats -- probably at exactly the same time that Velvet Red is discontinued.

 

Do you know when the cordoba is to be offerred on the S? I am looking for a BRG S and would love to get the beige cordoba leather...

 

Aloha, biosynthetic,

I have the Velvet Red MC with Sport Package but comes with 16" wheels...not 17".
The sport seats are different...very contoured and keeps you snug in spirited driving. The cordoba beige leathers looks very elegant on Velvet Red.
Here's a pic of a couple of VR's with Cordoba leather:

*note the one closest...has 17" MCS wheels*
