Im interested in getting some leather sports pack seats from the uk or here if possible. My folks are going to the uk soon so it seems to be a good opportunity if there is a place over there to get them from in or around london so that they can have a look at them before they are shipped.

Does anyone know of any places there that do interiors or maybe anywhere in Aus that do it?

mate, buy the covers from Newton Commercial and fit them yourself, or get a trimmer to fit them here. They will go straight over your foam padding, under your current covers. You can get some MAD leather covers.....cost a heap less than shipping seats too :wink:

They have a website.... http://newtoncomm.co.uk check it out.

i made a comment to mikey the other night
that the tinted windows are great coz they cover up your seats
haha
wise choice mrcooms, as much as i like those grey cloth seats (mainly because theyre comfy, standard, and feel good)
i dont think they suit Cherry Red and Suave Tinted windows

A friend of mine bought a complete set of leather seats from a Jap import from Brickworx. Contact him maybe. There are so many models of imported Mini seats I don't know how you would go getting covers sent from overseas.

You might be better getting a trimmer to make them here.

get some half backs and trim them with some adding of foam support etc.
easiest way IMO. wouldn't cost too much, if it does tell him he's dreaming :P

being a '93 model, I'm not sure if you could get the older seats legally (which by the way Nuclear Mini is trying to flog his beautiful cobra low backs for cheap cheap)

Might have to contact Brickworks. Even if i get the sportspack style i can get them leather trimmed cos when i do i will have to do the whole interior, I could probably keep the back seat and just get it recovered in the same leather.

Dooke i totally agree with u the gray interior is really bland and the good thing is that dad is on my side so i have a helping hand. I just have to decide wat colour interior to go for, i was thinking either Beige or black, red i think isnt the best option cos it will clash with the exterior. IM not looking at getting the half back i want the later style ones for looks etc as i think it ties in best with the era of my car, not that i dont like the half backs its just they dont suit my car.
