I have both in my laser blue MINI. I'm very happy.

 

I have the b/w checkerboard dash with the yellow color line. Echoes the exterior of my lil LOLCAB very nicely. I also have checkerboard bonnet stripes, door handles, side scuttles, side mirrors, full roof checkerboard graphic from cooperflags. Love it! Next, I'm getting a new boot handle custom painted, yes, checkerboard.

 

I too have both in my Mini. The cloth seat material still look as good as the day I picked up my Mini. And the checkered trim is a great item as well. Word of advice, go with the checkered JCW floor mats. The pattern is the same as on the trim, and ties the seats in with the rest very nicely.

 

I have it and no glare at all. Love it with the standard checkered cloth seats.

 

Thanks everyone! That question that was really worrying me and was so pleased when my search brought me to this thread.
