Alas, I'm just not happy with my cloth seats - they don't hold me snug while cornering at speeds above ~ 40...but I paid for heated seats. Does anyone know of an aftermarket seat that will do both (the stock rebadged Recaro's in the VW R32 are a perfect example of what I'm looking for)

 

You might give Recaro's a try...sorry, couldn't resist . I'm looking around for some seats as well that sink the bank account.

Don't know if this will help: http://www.recaro.com/index.php?id=2646&region=3&L=2

 

The original R32 from 2004 does not have recaro seats, they are Koneig.

 

sorry my link did not work...just check any R32's on ebay and Konig is embroidered on the side of the front bottom section.

 

Ah! you are correct indeed. My mum motors around in one, and I love the seats, so much support for the sides and back Now I've gotta find a source for them I don't fancy having R32 logos on a MINI

 

Next question is of course:
http://www.sportseats4u.com/konig-k5...ats-p-605.html
gives me what I want, at a price (£1415 per pair) , but they're not shown as fitting the MCS o_0.
Guess a call to them is in order
