Anybody had any joy fitting Rover 45 seats in? I fear they are too big and cant take the car with my to test them.

Have Corbeau Forzas. In my mini the only comments I would make is they are a very close fit and rub against the door pillars which can be annoying but they are comfortable and save my back from the hard ride.

I'd like to know if MGBGT seats would fit? I'm told it's just the backrest that folds forward to let back seat passengers in.

Also, i fancy fitting an arm rest in the back seats, Are there any back seats which would fit with this feature?

There is a company called M.A.D Autotrim on ebay - i have never heard of them but they seem to make the original trim look amazing.

Not sure if anyone else has used them, but thats who i was thinking about contacting when i wanted a new interior.

The picture below is the trim i was thinking of going for.

Bit unrelated, but, great car ! Bet that was fun in the snow...

Anyone know if the Mini recaro (by which I mean the 'road' type, similar in style to standard Ford Cosworth trim), or any other recaro-style seats were available in black leather with cream piping ?

If that makes sense !

ERA rear seats have an armrest in the middle I think.

Someone was asking if it is possible for fit BMW Mini Seats in a Classic Mini. Yes - I have done it! I have fitted a pair of John Cooper Works Seats to mine and have been very surprised. Access to the rear is easy and I can easily get into the back. Not massive amounts of legroom, but this is a Mini! And I must say that I find them VERY comfortable. Heated too!

These are the seats...



And here they are fitted...




I dont have any finalised photo's yet, but will get some to add here!
