I have been searching for nice seats that didn't break the bank for a few months. After hours of searching flea bay I took a punt and bought a complete leather interior, thinking if it doesn't fit they should re sell easily enough. Picking them up I was a little worried due to the wide foot print, but they actually fit very very well. I've had to raise the front slightly but they miss the rear pockets and have a Hight adjustment too!

Prize to the first oneto correctly guess what car they came from....

Clue - they tilt for rear access

I'd have gone for bmw compact as well. They look good in there

how high are the backs in the mini? I've always found I could get the correct base width but the rest of the seat was well out of proportion i.e. too tall. Just my thought

Look very similar to old mans 3 series seats.

Whats the prize? Do you have a sister?

EDIT: If you do have a sister I don't want her as a prize, Just a picture *happy*

Prize goes to jimster!

And actually theyre not too bad Colin, a little heavier than the mini seats but I don't care that much about weight!

I'm not quite sure how I'm going to fit the rears yet - likely strip off the leather and cover the mini seats.

They aren't out of proportion at all, they actually look very factory fitted.

I'll get a pic if the top's too wil!

I do have a sister but she won't let me put up a photo!!!

Let me see if I can find one.... It'll only be up briefly tho!!
