Seats

has anyone tried fitting after market seats? I am looking to get a full retrim done but i want to make sure i get better seats in first something a bit more bucket shaped. Dont really want the JCW ones becuase i would hate the feeling of having to wreck them to get the retrim done. I have seen cheap after market seats installed before but obviously there wasnt any height adjustment or anything so they sat up very high and looked out of place in the car. Just if anyone else has changed it would be a great help if you could add some pics or give me your views on after market seats in mini's

thanks

True, but there wont be many aftermarket seats that have height adjustment, the JCW's dont.

Why would you want to re trim one of those aswel, that seat is more expensive than the JCW unless that price is for 2?
