Fitting R56 JCW seats to an R53 ?

[nylo]

Steve, awesome job, well done Must say, I did toy with this idea, but buying a house got in the way

I've sat in one sitting on the dealer's floor, and I didn't want to get out, it was unbelievably comfy! Enjoy!

Fantastic job, well done for the having the nerve to give it a go!

I saw a set in the modnmini demo car, and they looked great. Did you just leave the air bag disconnected in the end?

Thanks, Fitted factory airbag resistors from MINI UK as the Recaro's don't have airbags.

Glad you sorted it

Wow they are the muts.

They look very similar to the Recaros in The Clio 197 F1

Clio 197, Corsa VXR, JCW (R56) Recaro's...

...all the same just different airbags and upholstery All the Recaro Sporster CS. I think even some of the Audi RS's have them, but they have extendable leg support I think.

R53 Black Cooper S @ Lohen yesterday which had these seats fitted. Very very nice!

Did you have any trouble fitting the tensioner cable?
