Just thought you might like to see my Cooper Sport. I have owned him since new and have not buggered about with him at all. Only replaced the exhaust with a s/s Fletcher jobbie when it rotted through and added a K+N filter element into the standard airbox. Door cappings are sprayed platinum silver to match the roof and he has Wood & Pickett escutchions and sill trims. And thats it he is now on 35k as my misses uses him as her run about.

Ok you may be aware I have fallen out of love with my JCG seats and they are on the bay at this very moment.



Anyway as replacments I bought these puppies:-



They are Cobra Roadster 7's from the signature range finished in Magnolia leather and black alcantara. Anyway I was a bit worried how they were going to fit so trial fitted them on the JCG sub frames the other night.

The upshot is they are mucking fagic! Super comfy with plenty of lateral support. The back rest angle looks weird but feels so right.





In addition being design for 7 based vehicles like Westfields and Caterhams they have quite a small foot print so do not dominate the interior.



Rear access whilst not brilliant is ok and I can get in fine.



I must know knuckle down and sort the tin worm out as i want to get Paddy in a workmates garage for spraying during the warmer weather (Notice I didnt put summer as it will likley be a washout again.

Anyhoo toodle pip until my next installment

Oh I forgot to add this, been playing on PS again and have tinkered with the overall look. Thanks to whoever i pinched the image off, I cannot remember where from but its a US Austin Cooper S.

I have obtained a set of 5 x 10 Mambas which I am waiting for Mr UPS to deliver next week.

I did have abit of a worry about the colour myself but i want to create a sense of more space than normal in Paddy, black interiors whilst great from a cleanliness point of view can be a bit enclosing (if thats a word) but you get the idea. Light and airy is what I am looking for.
