Hey,
Does anyone know if the old style sparco JCW seats are available in full leather with the center piece in blue??

Sorry i don't know exactly what the blue is called but i have the normal blue/black full leather seats at the moment and want them to match the back seats colour-wise because i plan on keeping the back seats as they are.

Thanks

Thanks for the pics guys!!!

I have the exact same seats as the above pic, and i am thinking about getting the JCW seats, as i have a love for them.

When i was buying my mini, the JCW seats were on my extras list, but the right car came along without the seats so i thought I'd do without them.

What are peoples views, are the JCW seats worth getting over the originals?

This may not be the answer you want to hear, but i found them a bit of a pain after i had them installed. You could'nt ever get the exact driving position you wanted because there was no height adjustment and it made access to the back seats near impossible. After the Sparco seats i think they made a Recarro works seat, maybe worth doing a search on that?

i used to have the sports seats in my coop and didn't think much of them to be honest... no support what so ever so i had the jcw seats put in. the jcw sparco seats offer large amounts of all round support which i much prefer, the driving position is spot on in my oppinion (although it can take abit of getting used to from the sports seats depending on what height you have your seat at) and they look mint!
however i do agree that they do make rear access a pain if you use the rear seats on a daily basis but if not there isn't much of a problem.

Agree with !!cam!!,

one of the best additions to my MCS, so much more supportive enabling better control of the car when attacking the twisties

Got them for £650 on ebay (turns out it was a MINI2 member !). in as new condition. He was selling them due to limited rear access for his youngsters, as mine have flown the nest no problem for me.

If you can get them for a reasonable price you definately won't regret it.

Good luck

John
