I would advise against cream ...from experience it collects the dirt in the creases, takes longer to clean and doesnt wear as well

Alot like blondes :D

Woops, Posted the wrong link, wanted the black ones. :P. Cream and Mini 35 pinky/red don't go well. I'm going for headrests because my neck is really painful most of the time and considering im 5,8 - 5,9 I feel asif i may just fall backwards on them :P/ And in the event of an accident, they do reduce your the likely hood of you snapping your neck lol :P

I am getting clubmans soon when my mate takes them out of his car, they are very comfy and if price is the issue then I would go for Mamba clubmans, same seat but cheaper, dont know the quality of the vinyl ones but cloth ones look almost identical! but a lot cheaper!

I've wanted buckets really, my problem with classics is the fact they're quite compact, im not saying clubmans aren't but there are a few reasons why i like them more A) Every one seems to go for cobra classics. I like being different and not following the crowd B) The headrests look like they won't do much anyway! C) There is cobra clubman in the car now a cloth one and its a really comfy seat im not going to lie. D) Obviously Price, it may not seem a lot but when trying to restore/build your car on the minimum budget but still buy the stuff your really want, every penny counts! :P

And you know when I've put them in, you'll look and think. F**k Me they look good. :lol:

Oh okay, Mamba? Never heard of them. May stick to cobra as this is a whole interior package. Literally, my car has one seat and a spare wheel/tyre as a passenger seat. No door cards or nothing. Thats why this package appeals. If you catch my drift :lol:

If it was me then I would buy the door cards off a standard boring 80's mini and recover them myself in black cloth and try some sort of sewing pattern or piping to make them more interesting and then go for Mamba seats as they are a lot cheaper and then find a black rear bench seat :)

I was going to do that but, thats just so much hassle it sounds terrible but I'd much rather pay the 500 and get something I want in a simple easy package than have to go searching for parts. I need it MOT'd and it can't be MOT'd till the interior is in, as it has no seat belts.
