anyone with an update on this?

 

Hmm, I just got my MINI and while I love the cloth, I can feel the lack of lumbar killing my back. Adding the official lumbar support would be cool, but I'm down with spending a bit on some seat covers that add it. I was told somewhere locally might be able to add some nice leather for about $700-$800, which sure beat's MINI's prices. However, I kind of like the cloth....

 

Edit: Information was said previously.

 

I'm resurrecting this year-old post as I've just retro-fitted lumbar support to my cloth sports seat - it's quick, easy and cheap, and I will post a "How to...." guide in the next week or so.

Andrew: Thanks for putting in the work to share with the rest of us how to retrofit our seats with the lumbar support. Can't wait to see your post and retrofit my '07 MCS with cloth sport seats. Thanks Mike

 

waiting for the DIY :D

 

I got a sneak preview if the DIY today. All I have to say is Very thorough. I called classic mini about the parts. Looks like at total of about $135.00 plus shipping.

 

 

Cool, cool. I'm getting excited!

 

is that for one side only or for both sides?

 

that's a sweet deal ! .. itching to see this DIY, too bad I've blown all this months play money getting ready for the RMW tuning day

 

thats total for both

 

fantastic!

i'm on pins and needles waiting for this DIY now!

 

I've posted the how to... guide in a new thread so it can be more easily found:
