JCW seats!!!

[zimbo]

Well Was thinking of treating myself and my mini to a set of JCW seats so got some prices from a dealer about 2 weeks ago, £779 each so went in today to see about ordering just one for now as the prices are a bit steep as far as I am concerned, only to find out they have now gone up to.... ....£958 each!!! In just over 2 weeks. :eek: :Whistle: :thud:

So doesn't look like I'll be getting any of these in the near future then :argh:

That price increase is REDICULOUS.

Thanks for the link Greig. I was thinking of the alcantara seats but might just look at buying straight from Recaro instead.

these are very nice, if i had a spare grand and a half mmm:cool:

think you can get them from demon tweeks or something. Not the actual mini ones but the recaros.

Was in the most recent mordern mini

you can get them at checkpoint in aberdeen, possibly scourced from them through demon tweeks though.

Still £700-£800 each though! You get what you pay for as they say, ridiculous when the Clio R26 F1 & Corsa VXR come with them as standard!

This price is in part leather / part fake suede and does not include subframes.

Fortunately i bought one of mine very cheap ( brand new ) and bought the matching one from local dealer with good discount only 2 weeks ago, so i was lucky to escape the price increase.

They are great seats, but i would not pay the RRP of £2100 + fitting:eek:

I was tempted by this link from Vecchio Engineering.

I can't see if you are 1st or 2nd gen mini though (i'll figure out how to use the site properly soon...). These are for 1st Gen.

I've bought a few things from Leo & he is a good guy.

Also has Janspeed Manifold (with Cat) at £389 including VAT/Delivery - superb deal.
