Think I have persuaded the parents to buy me some Cobra Classics for Christmas (Spoilt I know!)... The cloth ones not vinyl. All I want to know is, has anybody got a set? I ask because I need to know what kind of comfort and support they offer, hell, 19 years old and I am into comfort and support! So yeah anybody with them, reply! Cheers, Matt

I got a set of classics for my birthday in August, only the vinyl low back ones, and I have found them to be incredibly comfortable for short and long journeys, also on 'spirtied' driving they hold you very well. I also think that they look the part too.

http://www.minispare...id=34830&title= These are the seats in question! Yeah I think they look great! Got a set of red carpets to go in, I know red can be a bit bright, so the black will tone the red down a bit... And also, will I need new seat subframes for them?

[RossKnight]

I have the cloth ones!

[Mayfair_Bateson]

Do you have pics Ross?

[RossKnight]

Anything you want to know, just ask

how come these full vinyl cobra's with headrests and a piping colour of your choice is cheaper than the cloth version from minispares? i'm thinking of getting a set off these seats for my mini then keeping my cobra recliners for my clubby estate.

They loolk ace! Cheers Ross... Will I need to get new subframes for them? And also is there room for people to sit in the back? Ha don't have many people in the back but just incase!

You'll want the cobra universal subframes yeh, I take it you're upgrading from standard seats?

Well put it this way...

Me and my girlfriend both slept on the backseat after a party with one seat tilted forwards and bags, clothes, shoes etc in the car too, and the pillows and duvets haha.

But yeh, plenty of room if you slide the seat forward and tilt it to let them in

[Mayfair_Bateson]

Yeah been looking at them on the Mini Spares site and yes a pair of soggy old seats they are too haha!

Haven't yet to sleep in the mini yet but waiting for the day haha...

Do they tilt on the subrames or something? just as long as people can sit in the back in relative comfort I am happy

I prefer cobra Cubs to Cobra Classics

[Mayfair_Bateson]

Oh so they lock onto the bit at the back of the seat where the originals lock onto? http://www.minispare...id=37876&title= are these the right subframes?

[RossKnight]
