Not going to bid myself, as the wife has tightened my purse strings....!!!!

But there is a full leather JCW Sparco set of front and rear seats on ebay I thought you may be interested in. I know the question pop's up all the time as to where these can be bought:

Mini J.C.W Seats on eBay, also, Mini, Classic Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 08-Apr-08 20:25:50 BST)

ButtonIt · Apr 4th, 2008, 07:15 AM

Not a bad price at the moment for the full set

I would bid, but I've already got JCW seats

Seriously good seats

Mike Edwards · Apr 4th, 2008, 04:31 PM

The fronts look okay, but unless the rear one are just the covers, there is something seriously wrong with them.

wincakes · Apr 4th, 2008, 04:36 PM

The big split between them is because they are split rear seats, and it'll be just the way he's placed them!

Your right they look a little out of shape / saggy, they don't seem to have the frames with them (rears) they look like they're just the covers, as long as there OK it will just mean a little effort changing the frames over

.

The fronts don't have the runners but this is normal as they're supplied without them

, again a little work involved changing them over

The front passenger seat doesn't have a JCW logo in those pics....strange, also the rear seats look like hes made them himself

MARK TAYLOR · Apr 4th, 2008, 06:21 PM

if anyone wants to buy them ill buy the rear seat from you to cut your costs down as im looking for the rears to go with my fronts.i emailed the guy before there were any bids but he would not split them.cheers mark

Jaw_F430 · Apr 4th, 2008, 06:36 PM

Back seats look fine, they look like mine that I bought from the dealer apart from mine are red and black

but once there on the frames and in the car they look really good!!!!

Hmmmm!

I can't make my mind up on that, it looks like there's no logo but zooming in I can see something (pic's aren't clear enough though) but I wouldn't like to bet it's there, sometimes this used to happen if you got mis-match seats from different cars (normally from a scrap yard) in the old days, people used to get a set of Recaro's out of the same model car but different years (one from one & one from another) and one would have a badge / logo and one wouldn't

(you normally didn't notice until you got them side by side

, as you where just happy to find a pair all-be-it from different cars or a replacement for a damaged one and they'd initially looked the same

).

They do go like that when the frames are removed though, you'd look a little saggy with your skeleton removed

, it also depends on how they've been stored

Tigger, Eeyore & Roo · Apr 5th, 2008, 12:51 AM

The rear JCW seats come as just the covers and you have to fit them to the existing seat structure.

I've changed the rear seat "covers" on my last MINI and it's a complete doddle

The guy probably wasn't interested as he probably thought that he was going to be left with the two front seats, ie, an email, do you want too split the seats, I want the rears (MARK TAYLOR), then another email for the fronts (Dawn)

(a little suspect, sometimes), then the person for the rears turns up and then the person for the front's doesn't, he will have had quite a bit of interest for just the rears IMO

Fair enough, but it wasn't put like that in, or it never implied that in Post #12, I came to that conclusion after your reply (Post #12), to MARK TAYLOR's Post #7, it may have been wrong but not unreasonable

If people don't want people to comment, what's this site all about?

.

I sell items from time-to-time on eBay (as most people) and believe me the people that contact you with stupid requests or try to con you (sometimes working together) and it's hard to sort out idiots / conner's from genuine! people, spoiling eBay for the genuine people, that's what Post #14 was about

.

Non of my comments are personal and don't take them as such, I just added a comment too what I had seen / read previous and I may have put names in brackets but this was to make it clear to other readers what I was commenting on

Were did ou say otherwise? you didnt. You just replied with an answer of what was obvious to both of them as they are the people emailing the seller, and which i was sure that they both can work that out for them self.

Its just that you come out with lots and lots and lots and lots of longwinded answers that im sure most people will probably already no from the previous posts but you still seem to type loooooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg posts such as adding all them red post numbers

i honestly cant be botherd to tally up all the stuff you've written to posts, maybe because im tired but i dont think id be bothered anyway.

My comments are neither personal from what ive read / seen / replied to / quoted or anything just my opinion.
