GP rear seat delete

i saw the GP cooper on miniusa.com and noticed it comes with a rear seat delete w/ a carpeted cargo area. i would love something like that. i dont use my backseat and i am looking to use it for like taking a nap or carrying stuff. i was gonna get the kit w/ ABS plastic but didnt like the look of it. it looks sweet on the GP. does anybody make i kit like the GP or something at least carpeted and level??

Plywood and carpet and you can make your own. Onsled has a real nice version as well as several others. I'll be doing mine in a few weeks when the rear seat stops getting used.

Go to your local home improvement store. Buy $10-20 worth of marine carpet and some spray adhesive. Get the Shrader kit and add your own carpet. Easy

I asked my MA whether the GP rear seat delete was likely to become available as an aftermarket kit.......he thought it was highly unlikely.

I just order the kit from Shrader perfermance for $99

I was told that it isnt even an option to have the read seats. It was going to be a 2 seater, with a brace replacing the rears.

Thats the way it is from the factory; which is why we probably willnever see an OEM rear seat delete acessory (among other ins. reasons).
