Aftermarket Floor Mats

Can anyone recommend good (carpet) aftermarket floor mats? I don't like the OEM MC floor mats with the anti-slip pad that actually makes my foot slip.

Check out COCO Mats

Coco mats are a retro style that was popular in sports cars in the 60's, when cars did not have carpet on the floors. The new generation of coco mats is very high quality, and I love the black w blue dots pattern. I have a Hyper Blue MCS with Blue/Black leather seats and body color dash. The coco mats look very sporty I feel they have much more "character" than typical carpet or rubber. <www.cocomats.com>

I got some gg bailey floor mats a couple of months ago. You can go to their website and pick out the color and style you like. I got black floor mats with blue trim and heel pad to go in my IB MINI. They don't match my Wet Okole seatcovers as much as I would have liked them to. At first the carpet shed a lot. The quality is good, but the price is moderate at best.

Thanks for the information. I had already checked out both GG Bailey and CocoMats and they both looked good. Nice to hear from folks that actually have them. I'm leaning towards CocoMats as I might just purchase the driver's side. Plus, they'll custom produce it without the heel pad. :smile: I'm also debating Berber as they look nice and good quality.

I love the coco mats

So since I don't have my MINI yet, can someone tell me if I need to order a 3 or 4 piece set? I can't remember if the backseat of the MINI has a divider or if I need just one long floor mat.
Thanks,
Annette

The rear seat has a divider for the exhaust tunnel, so get the 4-piece. My Cocomats rule!

Any chance you have a picture of this? I'm considering the cocomats for my car, but am trying to figure out if I want black/grey or black/blue as I have the HB dash, but grey/black seats. Thanks

Great pic!

Ok, I'm so easy I just called and ordered the 4 piece set, black with white dots for my PW/B MCS. Can't wait til they get here!

FYI, my interior is Panther Black leather and the Cocomats are Black/Gray.

The coco mats look nice. It would be great to match the carpet. Are they much darker?

I don't notice the Cocomats being darker than the carpet. They take up every square inch of the floor space, so it's really not an issue. Here are mine with the anthracite:

I didn't want a colored dot pattern in my mats, and I got the Cocomats in all-black. It has a great looking herringbone weave pattern. The color works well with my black seats and anthracite interior. The fit is so perfect and snug that I don't expect they would ever slide around. I want to mention that Cocomats have a very good looking deep textured surface that doesn't show up well on photographs. They look much better in real life than in any of the online photos I've seen.

The only issue I have is that I will have them trim my rear mat behind the drivers seat. My 06 MC convertible has a Nav unit under the driver's seat, and the rear mat was made to fit without a Nav unit in front of it.

One-off's for my JCW:



The company will make almost anything, but it must be in an existing color and fabric in their stock. I was lucky, this blue is a good match for my interior.

Would you mind providing the Cocomats link & pricing?

Click through the website for descriptions and colors. You can get swatches to check color and weave. They cost almost twice as much as OEM mats, but it is reflected in the quality. My mats took about 4 weeks to arrive after placing the order.

Thanks to all who posted about the Cocomats. I always thought they would add a nice retro touch to the MINI. From what you've said and the photo's posted I will be ordering mine in the spring!

Wow, great to have so many replies! I think I may order up some Coco Mats, though would love to see what Berber mats look like first. I've heard they are also really good quality mats.

Lloyds Heavyweight mats are the thickest and most sound-absorbent I've found.

Scott, here's their website: http://www.matworks.com/

They actually scanned an image of the logo, and put it in the mat, having never before produced the logo! I was flabbergasted when I got them, because I did not have high expectations. I would recommend them if you are interested.
