JCW Seats or equivalent - MINI2

robbiebrown34 · #1 (**permalink**) May 29th, 2007, 01:32 PM

Does anybody know where i can get my hands on two John Cooper Works Bucket seats (the ones in the GP) for my mini? or does anyone know where i can buy the equivalent?

Cant seem to find anywhere in the UK who have these. I think the seats are Sparco Milano 2, but i dont know where to ge them from.

If anyone could help that would be brilliant.

Thanks

The seats in the UK edition of the GP are Recarro's not sparcos.

Just the fronts

, didn't find out how much the rear would be.

Not sure on the model mate but would you save money surely you would have to get a fitting kit do they make them for the mini? custom ones would be £££££

The Recaro Sportster CS seats are the ones for the R56. The seats in the GP look like the Recaro Style model.

i am assuming that price is from BMW direct, we all know they are a rip off!

Does anyone know where i can find these seats in the UK from anyone other than BMW? obviously i dont mind that they wont be branded with BMW.

Thanks
