Anyone have any idea how much these might cost? I have been thinking of getting JCWs, and would like to change my half leather rears to match............

Aiden, have you tried ebay ?... I guess the rear seats of a full leather accident damaged car are what you are looking for (for price wise), I guess with the side airbags in the fronts making them unsaleable if they've gone off there must be a few odd full leather rear seats knocking around, one of those breakers yards might be able to help....

Aiden there is a company in Armagh called Traynors Car Dismantlers (028 38891242) they had a Cooper S a few weeks ago with full leather interior, i was looking for the fuel cap from it but was too late, if you give them a call they could probably help

Not sure this is any help, but I have been quoted £5-600 for a full leather interior retrim by my dealer. Just in case we need the lipstick pink leather to go with our vipers

The leather is just a cover that slips on.

Really? How much is that Mo?

Thanks for the input guys, I'm still not sure if or when I'll get the JCW seats, have to take care of holidays and a few things to keep my other half happy first after my last spend and mods on the car..............

But I have a feeling they will be installed, sooner or later........

Not 100% sure on price but my 1/2 leather seats got torn and the dealership just slipped on a new cover. I'm sure the rears would be the same.

I had the backrest cover on my driver's seat replaced under warranty, due to a perculiar wear pattern in the material.

In Space cloth this cover was £165 + fitting......not the same as a full leather bench and backrest, but you get the idea.....

Hope this is of use....???

You might like to look at this.

Mini Spares Leather Sports Seat

I'd like to know if anyone has fitted these and how big a job it is. I feel I might be going for this in my next MCS so I'll not be speccing with factory leather if I do. Anyone seen these fitted to a car yet? Better still post some pics (and the back seats please).

I paid £987 at BMW for my 1/2 leather seats to be made upto full leather. (Yes I know I was ripped off but I wanted it doing before the car was delivered so the other half didn't find out).

I think you can get the rear seats done for about 1/2 this. I was told by other (non BMW approved) re-trimmers that it is not how much leather material you have (as I only needed the blue sections) it is the unpicking and re-stitching that costs.

There is a place in Liverpool that touts for business in a re-trimmed Mini One who's name escapes me at the minute. Maybe someone on here knows it.

Mine was done by a BMW approved company that uses the BMW leather callled "Stratstone" Don't know where they are though.

Aiden
Give cartronics a ring (01-8623644). They do all the leather seats for Mercedes and I think they do BMW. Some People who have ordered Mercs with leather from the factory have got their car and it has been trimmed by him and they dont even know . they do a very good job. But price wise i am not sure. Ask for Gerry, he is the boss. (tell me your a friend of Francos, from Macaris on pappins Road(my dad)), you should get a discount

Oh one more thing, how much were you quoted for the seats???I am thinking of getting a pair myself

[AidenL]

Thanks Fabio........ I'll make a call...........

€ 2,200 for full leather, with heating fitted was the price I got for the JCWs, let me know what your guys say............
