I believe, it has been suggested that the brace might be for fitting a racing harness to

The JCW seats might have been a better fitment than Recaros though in that case

So we add a brace (non-structural), where a simple luggage net would have done, and lose the rear wiper.......some of the weight saving ideas beggar belief........

The lunatics are in charge of the asylum methinks.......

If you took that bar thing out, I reckon you could get two seats in there

It would be interesting to see if the seats can be retro fitted - I'd have probably bought the car if it had 4 seats. (and lost its weight elsewhere.....)

Could all the people who want their MCS to look like a two-seater GP please contact all those buyers of GPs who really need four-seaters (with a view to making the car everyone has bought into something different). Also, please stop this mad world and let me off.
Thank you.

I was hoping Mickey planned to come up with some phat stereo to fill the back rather than seats.

So you want 50kilos of subwoofers and amplifiers in your lightweight....?

Handy that it already looks like a Chavved up van then...

Now if you could just get a 1.1 litre Saxo engine for it....

Rear Seats

Not having four seats put me off. Not now. Someone will make seats for the back that you can use and when that track day comes around just chuck them in the garage. Sorted

2008 JCW.

If there's anyone reading this who wants a GP and doesn't have a slot with a dealer then drop me a PM - I'm about to cancel my order with my dealer and I'll let you know who to get in touch with. He may have a queue waiting, but if not, I'll try and steer him your way.

Will probably call the dealer tomorrow or Friday.

Cheers

S.
