Rear Seat Delete Kits

Hey, I was doing random research and noticed they have rear delete kits for the earlier generations. Does anyone know if they make any for the F56? Haven't found any upon some google searching or a glance at the forums.

Add me to the list! vetsvette has one of the early prototypes from a company called Sneed for Speed. I reached out to them and they are going to be remeasuring his and then sell it to the public soon.

Hopefully

Sweet deal. Props to him for doing some guinea pigging. Sneed for speed...I believe they sell some other stuff for our Mini's too (like the splitters!)

Yeah they got a bunch of parts for Mini. Vetsvette has a post with all his mods on here including pictures of the delete. It's awesome!

Good news. I contacted them and they said the rear seat delete kits are out next month.

I'm meeting up with Chris Sneed next week so he can take measurements. It's Sneed4Speed by the way. He's installing side splitters, billet shift **** and checking the fit of the prototype CF wing while I'm there. He's got lots of Mini stuff and will be coming out with more 3rd Gen specific parts soon.

Rear seat delete w/4 point roll bar.

Hopefully
At the moment I have the only one in existence. Guess I can bask in the glory for a few more days.
Sounds like that won't be for long though.

It's going to be the 3rd Gen test car for the wind tunnel once I get all the aero bits installed. I'm looking forward to that. Hope to have all that done prior to MOTD.

Well, this weeks not gonna work after all. Trying to set up a day with Chris next week. He's 2 hours away from me so it's not like driving across town. Y'all will have to be patient a tad longer.

Please keep me informed of the availability of the rear seat delete kit/panel. Mainly want to create a level rear floor for carrying stuff.

This is just to show you guys that Chris (S4S) and I finally met up and he removed my seat delete to make a template. Shouldn't be long now, for those that are interested.

Looks like it's out now, but only for cars with roll bars. I guess it wouldn't really matter.

158.00! Not bad at all. I thought it was gonna be 200, unless this is an intro discount?


Also, is sneed4speed selling a bolt-in roll bar or weld in roll bar for the F56? I only see the R53/6 option.

Its weird, the F56 cage isnt on their site but I have it bookmarked from ECS. In the description, it says F56 - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-sneed4sp...r/2028310~snd/

From S4S website: "The mounting plates can be either bolted or welded in, we recommend welding as it takes less time and is stronger."


If you check it out you'll see that all three generations use the same S4S part#.
