Well looks like i'm the guinea pig. Ordered my Recaro Sportsters today in full leather. Brackets etc are available from Recaro. Going to use the resistors for my existing airbag wiring. I'll fit the seatbelt pretensioners into the new seats if needbe.
Only difference between these & the R56
JCW seats is the
JCW badge & airbags (which i don't want anyway).
