Yeah chris at woodman BMW (one of the mini2 sponsors) is doing the seats in Leather or Alcantara for £1525inc VAT. Thet retail at £1730 for leather of £1830 for alcantara so its a good saving. This doesnt include fitting though, and i believe some recoding of the seatbelt sensors is needed even if you fit them in the car yourself. (someone please correct me if i'm wrong).l think chris sasid on a dedicated thread to this somewhere that fitting would be £200 through him.
