i live less than a mile away from cobra i had some seats from there and in cornering islands the subframes welds would break

I prefer the speedwells as the "bucket" isnt as deep in them.

Thats only beacause your fat backside wont fit in normal buckets Neil

Personally i would go for speedwells for the badge and they look more retro than the cobra's however you wont know whats best until you have sat in both, personally i have never found any of the low back buckets that comfy but i really do like the look

ive got the cobra classics in mine, they are quite comfortable, well prepared to standard mini seats anyway lol.

I'd want headrests

I'd want headrests

Snap, I would have those speedwells in a heart beat, if they had headrests. I wonder if they could be added?

[smtaylor3]

have sat in the cobras there very nice but want something abit different!

I originally went to minispares to buy the speedwell seats, but once they were brought out and i'd had a sit in them I changed my mind. They're pretty small overall and the bucket doesn't really give you much support at all.

I ended up going for a cobras, nice looking, comfy and supportive.

yeah thats true....!

The reason I want the speedwells is because the lesser bucket makes getting in and out of the pick up easier. The pick up means the seats have to be mounted slightly more forward than ideal, and its made worse by the harsh sides on the cobra buckets.

If you want headrests, how about Cubs?

I hate leather seats in my mini, no air-con and sweaty bums on leather = uncomfortable. I liked the speedwell as they have fabric on the 'seat' of the seat

Keep and eye out for an old pair for sale then have them recovered to your own spec? thats what Im doing
