Really to ask does an alfa 156 interior fitment into a mini quiet nice. Does the rear fit good and do the front seats just need frames made to Bolt to the mini box section. Any info/experience or pics of your alfa seats would be great thanks

They are pretty big I bet they would fit but would be tight particularly for rear access. My mx5 seats are fairly close together on the bolsters

Mx5 tombstones are ace and some have speakers in the headrests. If the Alfa interior is cheap enough have a go. You can always sell it as they are quite popular if leather and in good nick.

Seen a complete front and rear seats plus seat belts £200 thought that was quiet steep as others on eBay are asking £75 / £100 I have old mk3 style front seats with damaged brown vinyl covers and a standard bench rear seat I may look at getting seat covers to re upholster them or just replace for a ready done set. Depends what shows up. I know I can go for brand new covers but there so expensive I feel.

Have a browse of this thread, I remember there being Alfa seats fitted, whether they're 156 seats is another question though: http://www.theminifo...-mini/?p=711374

I have an Alfa 159 and live in Lancing so your welcome to come and measure them. My dad used to have a 156 and the seats look similar to what I have now, but couldn't be sure.

I had 156 seats in mine for a while. They're really nice seats, particularly the electric tilt, but forget about getting anyone in the back in a dignified manner.

Lol I think I will be sticking to standard seats as I have a full roll cage going in also I'll be on the look out for a black vinyl interior or seat covers to re upholster my early mk3 non headrest seats
