has anyone seen the new recaro seats for the mini? they are not the jcw seats but are kind of like the current sports seats but slightly different shape all round the top and the sides, much stiffer and really hold you in place with stiff supports! they also have the front lumbar pull out extension thingy midgig aswell

very nice alternative to the works seats.

Post them if you got it.. I'm interested.

well kiss my ass and call me charley, here you go, exactly the same as the ones i sat in today on the test drive, very nice

mikeythemini · Feb 27th, 2006, 06:48 AM

I sat in Washy's
Really nice - prefare them to works seats

Yes, the Works seats can be a royal pain in the ass. I had to lose a 2 stone to get them to fit comfortably - which is good as I had piled on the pounds anyway.

The JCW Works seats are definatly more biased to track use than these recaros - although I think the recaros are better option than JCW for actually living with....

so, can I get some details on these - are they available to all currently, and the cost etc, or are they with 'new cars' only - whats the score....?

I think the seats that are coming on the new GP are the same.

You can spec these in your build online..

I was tempted, but they add about £1500 to the price, reason, they only come in leather, so you have to spec full leather, plus they're heated, so you have to spec heating !!!

If you could just order the seats alone, I probably would have had them.

Dread to think how much a dealer fit would cost....

i sat in them in the works test drive the other day and they grab you very well, very good alternative to the works seats. made by the same company recaro though so both are very good quality
