Hello TMF,

We are now getting very close to officially launching Classic Mini seat re-trims and seat covers (along with numerous other new products on a much updated website). So, over the next month or so we will be offering some amazing pre-launch special offers, starting with:

Re-Trims:
Full set: £300

Back only: £100 (+ free delivery*)

Covers:
Full set: £200 (+ free delivery*)
Fronts only: £150 (+ free delivery*)

* Free delivery available until Monday 14th November.

Available in the usual range of vinyl leatherette, for the following Mini seats (basically all standard seats), in the designs illustrated...

MK1 to MK2
Rigid non-reclining seats, standard in all MK1 to MK2 (1959 to 1970) Classic Mini's.




MK3 to mid-MK6
Single post headrest seats, standard in all MK3 to mid-MK6 (1970 to 1993) Classic Mini's.




Mid-MK6 to MK7
Twin post headrest seats, standard in all mid-MK6 to MK7 (1993 to 2000) Classic Mini's.




And, we are still working on the demo seats - hence why the images above are computer generated.

Below are a few pics of the demo seats - as you can see they are still very much under construction and as soon as they are finished I'll post some photos.



So, please fire away with any questions and if you are interested in the special offers let me know.



Thanks

these seats look absolutely excellent. i will definatly be ordering one rear seat. one question though, do i send you my old rear seat and you send me a re-trimmed seat?

any chance you could do estate rear seats too? i have one i'd be willing to send you for measurements and stuff if you give me a discount (cheaky b*stard is probably what you are thinking now) off the finished product

my order i got from you is absolutely quality too, can't wait to do another order

Nice glad your pleased with your previous trim!

Yeah that's right - basically a re-trim is you send us your seats and we re-trim them for you in the cover of your choice. Whereas the other option is we simply send you the covers so you can re-trim the seats yourself.

And, we certainly can do you a Clubman Estate back - there is actually one currently on the workbench that will be finished tomorrow (so sorry we already have the patterns - you don't know if you don't ask though so nice try), I'll post you a few pics once it's finished.

Estate back seats are a little more expensive though as we will also cover the back and edges in the covering of your choice. So depending on what you want doing you will more than likely be looking at roughly £125 for the re-trim (whilst the special offers are running).

How difficult is it to re-trim them yourself? Not worried about the £100, it's the getting the seats there bit.

I know it's off topic from the seats, but just wondering if you did any centre binnacle dash trims without the air vent holes?

is the prices for vinyl?

Good question...

Basically, how easy you will find replacing the covers 100% depends on you as a person, what skills you have and what you feel confident doing. So, it's kind of impossible to advise, as some people will be able to fit the covers without troubles and others will struggle - if your the kind of person who likes to have a go at things you might be able to do it, if your not, you are likely yo struggle.

It's not an easy job, hence why there is a profession that does it as a job (an upholsterer) - but, that's not to say that you won't be able to do it.

As for the getting the seats to us - it is certainly an option, just in case you don't know, we are located in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. And, if that's too far another option is pallet delivery, but it is expensive - which I'd imagine is why you are asking about fitting the covers yourself. For collection and delivery of seats via pallet your looking at £120 + (depending upon where you are).

We are negotiating with courier companies to try and get a better price/solution for collection and delivery of seats, but at the moment that's the best we can find

Yes we certainly do - simply make a note stating that you don't want the air vent holes in the 'Order and delivery comments' box, found at the bottom of the shopping basket.

Yeah - it's the same vinyl leatherette that we use on the rest of the product range.

Hey again,

As promised from yesterday, here is a couple of photos of a set of Clubman Estate back seats - designed to match a particular front seat, hence the design.



And the back is also covered...



And whilst I'm at it I thought I would post a selection of other Classic Mini back seats that we have re-trimmed:

Cream leather, with light blue piping & stitching and perforated cream leather inserts.



More photos of these leather beauties fitted to the Mini can be found here: LINK

Cooper red vinyl leatherette, with white piping



And more photos of these red eye-catchers fitted can be found here: LINK

And finally - black vinyl leatherette with white piping.




Thanks

i must have some. i will definatly be doing at least 2 more biggish orders with you in the future and i can't wait haha

[Cooperman]

Can you do 'as original' Innocenti Mini Cooper Export seat covers in beige?

[roberts]

Can you do 'as original' Innocenti Mini Cooper Export seat covers in beige?

We can certainly offer you a re-trim on Innocenti seats, but we won't be offering covers.

But, by 'as original' do you mean OEM coverings?

If so I doubt we will be able to offer that, as finding OEM materials is near on impossible - we can try to match the material as best as possible, but it's unlikely that it will be identical.
