what seats can i put in my mini? i would like recliners as i have a set of cobra monacos and don't want them but cant think what to get, i dont want anything to heavy as ive been saving weight all over and dont want to add it back on with seats .
i like the looks of the corbeau GTS and GTB recliners, has anyone got any and are they comfy? or can anyone suggest anything els? ive not seen any standard mini ones that i want for my car.
cheers Rich

I have a set of reclining seats from a SPI mini, mid 90's. Really comfortable. Only disadvantage is they foul on the storage bins by the rear seat so won't go back all the way. I am 6'2 and just manage though.

Not as yet, I am on my phone. They are a standard Rover seat, mine from a Rio special edition I think.

These ones:

I will never stop recommending SPI seats. I have SurfBlue63 to thank for mine, he first told me to get SPI seats as I wanted seats that were comfortable enough for a daily drive and on slightly longer journeys. I'm glad I didn't get buckets.

And to be honest if I sold the car, I'd probably buy a set of cheap buckets to go in it so I could keep these.

Oh wow those seem great. It'd be so much easier to get into the back.

Are those the only seats that can fold like jump seats? or are there other options?
