Craps, I've just had my seats recoloured that I bought off Ebay and fitted them,
stood back and thought gee that looks great!! Until I counted how many pleats and Craps Mk2.

Its a 68 and I've fitted 69 seats....

Well back to Ebay

thanks for that, I've become obsessed with getting it now correct, not that I go to many mini shows. So I don;t know why I'm so worried. :? :?
i'm also thinking of taking them off and getting another stich added to them. and that would cure it.

It would be cheaper to keep 1:18 scale models! :?

I do drive my children, but being out west, the nearest Mini Club is 550km away. Although I am considering driving one to Brisbane Mini Muster

I reckon the seats look great, I wouldn't worry about the extra stitch, you have a different steering wheel and accelerator pedal so what does it matter!
