That looks class. Would have made a good picture with mine with the FFZ plate an all!

Well you will all be pleased to know that I made a start to getting the Recaros in today

Bit of a pain in the ass as I was missing a few vital tools but thankfully @Cro had exactly what I needed!

Anyhow, passenger seat is in and I ran out of daylight so I am half way there

[Wild Thing]

[Carson]

Exactly that, T40 & T50.

 

[Wild Thing]

[Carson]

Drivers should be much quicker now I know the drill !

They look fantastic, great purchase. In my opinion, they are one of the best car seats about, I love mine.

 

[Jonny]

Looks brilliant!
Would love a run in this sometime

Cheers Neil how are the brakes bedding in ?

Significantly better.

Your welcome to try them if you are still tempted to go down that route.

I always find the minis have a soft pedal anyway.

I'm a bit disappointed you fitted your seats... I've an update for some "chairs" myself, so I can't really hurl any abuse now that you have started fitting them...

 

[Carson]

Feeling sorry for myself with a dose of man flu but the postman arrived to cheer me up

Carbon Fibre JCW Gear knob and handbrake.

My centre cap badges are also looking a little worse for wear so got my hands on a new set.

 

[Conor]

Really love these wee cars. Love the seats!

 

[ChrisL]

..... and we thought @Boydie was bad with OEM+ -ness

Seats look great though, love all the wee carbon touches too I must say

 

[Neil_M]

Lovely knob and handle.

Very tempted by these myself, but don't want to be a JCW wanna be

 

[Carson]

Just do it @Neil_M .. sure you have the key JCW bits anyway

I was going to opt for the alcantara gear knob to tie in with the seat centres but figured it wouldn’t wear too well.

Finishes off the interior

 

[Lauren_E]

Great additions! Seats will look great and the JCW gear knob in my opinion, is the best mod to do due to the improvement of comfort over standard

 

[bigpupcooper]

Looks fantastic, wish I'd kept mine

 

[Lappintyre]

Stop spending money on it or ill never be able to afford it when you're selling!

 

[Carson]

Perfect

Looks really well, those seats are amazing. I decided to put mine in to storage today for winter now it’s fixed again.
