Hi I have recently purchased a cooper sport MY2000 and I am rather tall.
Is there any way of lowering the seat to increase headroom with the existing seats or will I have to consider replacing them - the problem is that the seat hits the rear storage bins when I try to recline them or move the seat back.

Thank you

you are a big one

i'm 6ft 1 and find head room is no problem and leg room is ok with seat extender brackets

i think the only way around this problem is a different seat that mounts lower

How tall are you out of interest?

As there are lots of people on here who are very tall and find it a piece of *yellow human water* to get into a Mini etc

Hi Iam 6"3 but have a very long body and small legs.
So I can move the seat forward and angle the chair back but would just prefer to sit lower if I could.
