Ok I want some new front seats for the clubby. I was looking to get some stock ones from a newer car with lumber support, reclining, etc. I can't really afford to pay $500 plus each or any rediculous price. I just want something that is comfy and will fit into a mini. I will most likely get them re-upholstered, has anybody got any ideas, or pics of what thev'e done. I've heard that Mazda makes good seats, my dad has a 90's 626 and the seats have levers and dials everywhere, and there bloody comfy.

What about Rover Cooper seats?
They have side support and are GREAT to sleep in over night :lol: :lol:

Not sure, pop into Brickworx and have a chat to steve.
We're in the process of moving workshops but have already moved the majority of the Rover gear over so it is all there to be viewed (and bought if you like it :lol: )

Yeah, i'd go with the Rover seats. Too easy. And the right price, too. The 'sports' seats are pretty cool.

I could always sell you some Recaro's - is $5500 each out of your price range :lol:

I reckon they would be way too big, maybe height but especially width.

Courtesy of Mokesta :wink: They are a comfortable seat, but more importantly hold on to you real tight during "mini" cornering.

Metro seats are similar and hug you nice & tight during cornering. Fit nicely too although the catch to release them to lift is a little close.

Any later model Rover (1992? onwards) should have them. The Mini Mayfair had a similar seat, but it is flatter and less of a bucket.

I bought a set of seats off Flea Bay a little while ago. $350 to your door. Cream Leatherette/Vinyl. Good size (my shoulder is the widest point meaning no issues with room). Look crap hot, looks like they will hold you in well and have the provision for a harness if you so desire. I'll post a link to them later, I can't access Flea Bay at work. God damn propellor heads.
