Thank you for posting your photos.

NEMINI · Nov 7th, 2003, 05:55 PM

Thank you for the pictures ... bright and very vivid colors definately seem to be in this year

... I should be used to it by now but it continuously surprises me at the sheer volumn of bad taste present at most cars shows.

Thanks again for the piccy's

these look to be an add on to the stock seats or something. You can see that the stock seat bottom apears in teh 2nd picture, and it looks like the stock back on the first.

Any information from anyone?

Cool pictures. Thanks ..

Looks odd.

check out the promini.com website - we distribute the Orciari products in the US...these are their seat back covers...they cover the back of the seat and are paintable abs plastic. It uses the stock seats and adds in a support piece around the head rest for added comfort

You have to see them in person. I thought these seats looked really cool. It really added a neat look to the interior and integrated well with the seat. In fact, it took my a minute to recognize that they were the stock seat. I am seriously thinking about getting these. Plus, with these I can keep my heated seats.

My friend Aaron from www.outmotoring.com just posted more pics of all the MINI Coopers at the SEMA show. Here's a link. http://www.outmotoring.com/photos/20...MINI/index.htm

yea those restraints are nice - but they must weigh a ton - just look at the size of them...though i think i could deal with the added weight to my car to have her in the back seat...wow LETS MOTOR!

miniseven - yea i agree pictures don't do them justice, when you see them in person they look great.

Out Motoring · Nov 10th, 2003, 01:23 AM

Yeah, my wife saw 'them' on my website and gave me a couple hits for the 'bad male behavior' deal. She said that it wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't actually taken the picture! BTW, Sean and I walked the show together so you may see a bunch of similarities.

You have to think of it like a Haute Couture fashion show. Nobody with any sense wears that bizarro wear either. But once filtered (diluted) there may be something useful left.

stryder · Nov 10th, 2003, 02:39 AM

Great pictures from both sites, I hope the 'restraints' were polishing a MINI, or its quite off topic.

to continue on Obe's points, only Kumho's car had the wheel arches still black, and their car looks like something you could decide on a friday to do and have at the show on Monday.

Certainly supports the rumored option of painted arches being a factory option, since aftermarket likes it.

I wonder about the practicality of the gauges on the passenger airbag cover...

Unless I'm missing it, its sad no one put in a Whalen, clearly the pimping isn't reaching all corners.

SugarBelly · Nov 10th, 2003, 03:20 PM

Groovy, pics! Thanks minisven & Aaron.

Casey, Orciari's Seat Back Covers? Saw a pic at Promini, but no pricing data...
