Hi,

I'm thinking about changing my front seats and have seen these, Cobra Le Mans:



I was wondering if anyone else had them and how well do they fit in? And how much room do they leave in the back?!!

Thanks!

[miniman.matt]

fit well + very comfy
but they foul the window winder at the bottom, excuse to fit electric windows.

Aww koolio, thank you! Hmm, maybe would have to think about electric windows as well then!

Are Recaros similar?

[sweetser]

Yeah, recaros are similar.
Here are mine




There not in yet though, but they are very comfy!

Cheers Luke.

Oooo, Recaros look nice too!

Im waiting for Cobra to get back to me about making them in the same colours as my classics, but I reckon they'll be a bit too pricey

Recaro's dont foul the window winder if you dont use the standard seat mounting points. Whilst replacing the sills I cut half the seat mounting cross member away and lowered the seating position by nearly 50mm. My seats now bolt in to the cross member but I have lost the tilt facility.

Very comfy and I sit really low in the car. Also increased the distance from wheel to seat back by a further 3 inches allowing for my long legs.

Probably not very helpful Sazal, put is there anything in 'seats that fit a classic mini' thread? There might be some pictures of them fitted.

Mind you, you have probably already looked there.

Ooo, Ill have a look in that thread! I didnt know there was one!
