As I'm going to be using my car for work. I need the GP rear seat delete option. Does anyone have any part numbers/pics?

Joogle · Mar 21st, 2008, 06:03 PM

Dealers are clamping down on GP parts sales - wont sell them without a chassis number, proof of ownership/old part in exchange. You might be able to find some bits off the odd salvage ones that come up on Ebay.

Freedo · Mar 21st, 2008, 07:58 PM

Yea so I heard bud. Same about the wheels also...

Seen a few rear seat delete packs from aftermarket companies which could be near enough the same?

Hugo · Mar 21st, 2008, 08:22 PM

Couple of people on here have created MDF boards to go over the boot and seats or else you could just cover the seat section. Thats what I would do.

PmP · Mar 21st, 2008, 08:42 PM

Take a look on outmotoring.com they offer a rear seat delete kit that might suit your needs. the GP rear bar actually makes rear less usable anyway.

Funny I was thinking what was to stop an owner ordering some parts and flogging them off to make a bit of money, or the likes of me ordering engine parts to upgrade my Cooper S's engine. Certainly been a few intercooler kits floating about on ebay.

Just make it out of MDF and cover it in carpet

Ant FR · Mar 21st, 2008, 09:26 PM

that a load of old ********, if you know the right parts person you can get anything you like.

My contact does'nt ever ask for anything, but hey i have known him for 23 odd years which always helps i suppose.

I think I'll make my own then.

The deletion pack means your going to have 2 big holes for the rear strut brace

Here is an after market solution.

You could make one of those for under £10 ($20 or 15euro) out of MDF and piece of carpet.

I'm thinking bout. I've got Works Sparcos and there is no point having back seats due to the lack of room.

Freedo · Mar 24th, 2008, 04:00 PM

You can then incease your power/weight ratio...

Im confused to why you would take yor seats out and then add weight back in?

I can see a reason for maybe the storage side of it, but if its lowering the weight of the car then why add it back in at all...

.. Of course using thin MDF etc will limit the amout your putting back in but the back seat dont actuall weight that much anyway.
