i will be fitting a new interior to the mini...i currently have a couple of buckets,but i am looking into a later interior, or a cooper interior HOWEVER...mgf seats do look very nice, however these do not recline do they? and are any seats too wide for minis? any info would be awesome

[Don't Panic]

I have cobra monaco buckets and they fit but only just, they are pretty wide. They either go infront of or behind the A pillar.

i fancy some recaro seats but cant afford them lol! i also am looking to change my seats soon i think i'll buy some recaros of ebay and get them re trimmed in suede? fake suede that is! lol

i have recaros in mine from a astra gte they are so comfy you can usually find them for quite cheep i paid £15 from a scrappy for mine and my brother paid £25 for his both of which are in great condition and a bargain me thinks

[jack_marshall]

I have to agree that Recaro's are the best 'normal' seats... before you start looking at bucket seats and all that!

Theyre's loads about, Rs turbo's, Capri's, Astra's....

Normally loads on ebay too.

If you pick up a bargain and have them recovered (costs us £80 for both recovered in vinyl) Then you have some very very nice seats, which are extrememly comfortable and have great support.

Heres my Buckets. They are A cheap rip off of "Cobra Clubmans" but IMHO. They are 10 Times better. They are more padded and dont creek like the Clubmans...


And yes, my handbrake does need adjusting, Well It needs a complete new cable.

Gotta agree with Binge on the seats.

The Mamba's are "copys" of Cobra clubmans but I've sat in both and the Mamba's seem to hug you alot more.

Dunno about quality though!

I took the buckets out of a 89' honda prelude and built simple frames to mount them into rusty... they look pretty damn good and are really comfy..... they only cost me $40 canadian..... thats less than 20 pounds. :grin:
