Let us know when you order and I'll begin the "Database Rap" (all those NFR owners out there are now laughing their butts off!)

It's like Mini is trying to force this color to be something classier than the other color choices. As far as I am concerned, snobbery has no place in what someone should be allowed to order with their car.
That's really unusual. I picked up my NF on the lot last week and it had cloth interior. I suppose if ordering it you might have a problem, but mine came with cloth sport seats. I didn't order. (was planning to, but this had just arrived off the truck)

It is a classy color, but I feel my configuration is geared towards young and fun. Cloth, sport seats, 10 speaker sound, iPod/bluetooth, rotator spoke tires...

I'm sorry you had such an odd experience.

Welcome Katie...ok this is what I need for the NFR Database.

1) your state (or province)
2) MINI's name
3) type of transmission
4) packages
5) options, including trim color, etc.

You are now a vested member because you've posted a pic. If you can find Skuzzy, he can get you a badge of honor...someone else has it too....help out NFRer's...who's got the button?

Sounds like a sweet mini! Congrats!!

I tested drove an NFR with cloth seats. I liked them. I guess dealers can override some of the choice restrictions... maybe I should have asked about that.

The only thing my Mini doesn't have that I would have liked is cloth seats but am planning on seats covers which I think will help with the them getting too hot this summer. Would love some Recaros but damn they are pricey!

So this is the place us NFR owners get together
Looks like I have a lot of reading to do 137 pages!
Joined NAM last month and have had my NFR/B Mini since 3/31 the options list is cold and premium with sports seats and 15" wheels.
I was shopping and this one just called out from the lot and followed me home; have 4,300 miles so far and still grinning.

Cool, I'll get out the camera and snap a few for proof , but I would like to hose off the pollen; spring time in NH! I need to do this anyway because friends don't believe that I fit; That should be my vanity plate...

Welcome aboard Mininightflame! I'm the dreaded "Database Dude" and require the following:

Your MINI's name
Model year
Type of transmission
Options - such as seat options, trim color, any other options, etc

As soon as the pics are posted, you'll become "vested" into the clan and CarJoy will "pin" you! Welcome to the insanity that is NFR Support Group!

Glad to be the strait man or maybe stop fragmenting...
I'm 6'-5" so the first thing I'm asked is "Do you fit?"
So I need some pictures for verification.
As for the plate it will be shorten to " I Fit"
