    Hey Hey Hey

    I was thinking about taking my two back seats out of my Mini Cooper S . Wanted to get bucket seats and harnesses etc so though about taking the back two out altogether.

    What you think and how easy and good will it look

    This is what it looks like with the rear seats removed



    You'll need some kind of covering or carpets to tidy up the rear

    Oh my goodness Hmmmmm maybe not then . I was thinking about putting a show cage in it (well i think its a show cage) just like the ones that is a bar that goes across your roof and a bar diagonally across each back window. What youi think. Thats the reason i wanted to take it out but but but then your going to have loads more space. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THAT EXTRA SPACE

    Might be worth searching for a GP owner who has installed rear seats they'll have all the bits you need to turn yours into a GP alike rear end oooeeerrr

    Also, my car shows the rear totally stripped, you'll have some carpet there for the rear above where my battery is

    Not sure what you mean by show cage

    Have you got a pick of a GP inside I just want to do something completely different to my mini.....make it unique

    Ummm its like a roll cage but its not got all the extra bars its just got the bar at the top and the two diagonal bars. So when you look at it from the outside all you see is a digonal bar across the back side windows

    I would go for it Vicki, it will look great. I would say tho, make sure you can put it back to normal fairly easily so that you don't make your car unsellable down the line.

    Here's one:-



    That would be unique and much cheaper, maybe a request to JC Parts for prices to convert your car, would be cheaper than rear cage i would think
