I'm considering a new drivers seat for the mini. i'm thinking fibreglass, no more then £500 but thats as fas as i've got as theres so much choice. the cars used mainly for fun, so comfort is a premium.

Cobra Monacos in mine. They rub on the b-pillars which makes an annoying squeak. :/ |

im in two minds, whether to go down the bucket seat/cage/stripped out look, or keep it looking standard as possible for the sleeper look? hmmm Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs

not the best, but cost enough, the cobra clubman seats i have are amazingly comfy, the 100odd mile drive to MITP felt like id only been sat down for 5 mins, no aches or anything On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I've got the Cobra Imola's too. No complaints, but if your hinting on the side of a porker, they might be a bit snug. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Another quick question on this subject, for those of you who have seats with head side protection, how you get on with them? are they too intrusive on the road?
