Hey Guys,

So i'm looking at seats for my mini k... but i would like headrests (have the original low back ones).

Does anyone know nice seats which are both very comfortable, have headrests and will fit well in the mini? More than happy with ones from other cars.

Trying to have nice seats so the girlfriend likes sitting in the car as well :)

Cheers,

What you need to determine is how much you wish to spend. I have seen Porsche 911, modern bini, even Honda Civic seats fitted. SAAS have some comfortable seats (which fold forward to get into the back seat) at supercheap and autobarn at reasonable prices. As has been mentioned by others previously on this topic, work out the width you need for the seats to fit. For example a 2006 cooper s sports seat is 52 cm across the bass and 55 cm on the back and they fit. I did move them closer together so that the steering wheel wasn't offset, and also to miss the rear side pocket/bin to allow for rear movement. If you go to the wreckers choose seats out of a 4 seater 2 door, as the seat will fold forward. You may never put anyone in the back, but it is nice to be able to access the back seat area. Happy hunting.
