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

If you get JCW seats why would you re trim them sure there good enough?

yeh but iv got a certain design i wanna go by plus i want a logo stitched into in and to do it you would need to retrim anyway and it would just be a waste of a good JCW

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

have you thought about the demon sparco seats

Demon Road Seat | Sports Reclining Seats | Demon Tweeks Motorsport, Motorcycle, Modifying, Parts and Accessories

same as the jcw's but without ruining actual ones

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?
