Recently just bought some Alfa Romeo GTV rear bucket style seats of eBay for 99p. Fitted them today and they went in almost perfectly. 

1. Removed Drivers Seat (for space), parcel shelf and foot plate (the thing under the seats)

2. The bottom part of the seat had a fixing mount which caught on my speakers under the seat so i bent it back, this also worked to keep it in place more as it was bent round the metal under the bench.

3. Slotted the back piece into the bottom piece and secured it with the original seat screws on the parcel shelf. I did however just have to put some wood behind the brackets on the Alfa seats for the screw to go into as seen on the picture above.

4. put the parcel shelf back on and foot plate under the seat back into place.

 

as you can see it has a console in the middle that leaves a gap bait but thats nothing a bit of wood/card wrapped in vinyl or felt can't fix, same thing on the parcel shelf where theres gaps at the front.

 

Any questions message me.

I've used gtv rears too. Pretty easy to fit. As too are mx5 fronts. Colour match pretty close too. All in, £126 :)

Depends on width, and you'll have to mod them to fit anyway.

I'm curious if anyone is familiar with these seats and who makes them. They're a fantastic balance of old-school styling and modern execution. I found it on one of the Japanese Mini Garage facebook pages, but couldn't find any leads.

I've fitted mg tf seats and have alfa gtv's arriving soon. I drilled 2 holes and bolted them down and have just put wood on the back and used screws through the side of the subframes to keep them upright, so will need to get some sort of mechanism to hold them down securely ,but they work for now lol

Hey. Was wondering if anyone had put porsche 986 seats in their mini? I've seen a few on ebay which aren't too badly priced. I was looking for cobra le mans but can't find any second hand and can't justify spending over £600 on them
