If there is ever a kit produced that can convert the stnd rear seats into the GP removed design then i am getting it. with two new front seats.

i really like the empty back area and the strut brace, it looks great and saves weight.

if and when...

Cheers,
K.

No offense mate but that looks absolutely terrible, nothing like the GP.

I bet it took ages to design the flat panel

Where is the moulded side, where is the strut brace, etc. etc. etc.

...unles however, the panel lifts up and doubles as a storage compartment?

Cheers,
K.

The Pole in the back of the GP isn't a 'Strut Brace' - It's there to stop your shopping ending up on your lap.

But If you were to do something along those lines it woudn't be very difficult to make yours functional.
I remember seeing thread somewhere about a Guy who made a strut brace for the mini which was fixed in place behind the rear seats.

yea it should be quite easy as all the trim is click mounted and the floor should be total repaceable if you dealer cant do it i know a corrupt parts man who probs could

The rear bar has a mounting system that means you will have to make modifications to the body work where the rear speakers would normally fit so that it anchors correctly.

a whole set of pictures is here
