thanks for that Harley, i asked one of the mods to delete the other post, i placed it in the wrong spot.
i can get the r56 jcw's for around 1500 each from UK but im sure the freight would be a bit too so probably making them 2k - 2.5k each which is getting up there a bit. and these are the airbag type too, non airbag ones are around 1250 each but i would be concerned about insurance so would need to check that (ie, removing a safety item).
this puts them around the same mark as the recaro sportster CS but i would prefer to try and get the matching colours in leather but that isnt critical.
maybe i will get lucky and someone will have a set they want to dispose of at a reasonable price
cheers
