My build has moved to looking at some front seat options. I have a pair of seats from a Suzuki Swift (2007 model) which are comfy and supportive but after trial fitting them, they are far too high and my head will almost touch the hoodlining and a little too wide overall and hit the rear bins when slid back. I'm considering t getting a pair of Cobra Classics with subframes (I've read a lot of good things about them on the forum) from Huddersfield.

Can anyone advise on what approximate cost would be incurred for shipping the pair to Oz (Perth)?

Thanks!

NB. There is a thread or two discussing shipping costs but they are over a year old so I doubt current pricing.

I bought a pair of Cobra Clubmans and subframes from Huddersfield Mini Spares in March this year.

They arrived in a week, and were 250GBP + 304 GBP postage.

The exchange rate was cheaper then, but that's about $904AUD now. Revolution Racegear do the classics for $545 each + subframes, so the saving is at least $400 still.

If you contact Huddersfield by email then they will give you a shipping cost

I did get a qoute off them for a full interior and some other bits and pieces last week which freight came to 304gbp
But now just waiting for a price for some vinyl and the seats
Looks as though 304 must be their favorite price

Also try mini sports u.k for a shipping quote on the seats

Make sure you go have a sit in some before you buy .
Revolution racegear have them in their showrooms to try.

I was keen on getting cobra classics until i sat in them.
I didnt like them at all.

Yep , same here , postage was dearer than the seats , but overall total cost was cheaper than here .
