JCW seats
They look awesome, but don't they come in different color options? I'd love to get a set in Lapis Blue, but here in the USA they are not "officially" available, due to our air bag requirements (and that the JCW seats don't have them). We'd have to import them from Europe, paying BIG $$$ for them... then there's the issue of disabling the air bag sensor so the car doesn't complain that the seat airbags are gone.

Not trying to get too far off topic here, but has anyone noticed that the Cooper Motorsports website is down for the month? I know we can't order seats directly from them, but I was curious...what are they doing? I believe they stated that they were closing the doors on their retail operation...

In my opinion ...they are fantastic to sit in , great to drive in , however they can be a bit firm around the sides and do cause a bit of trouble getting in and out of the car ...all good sports seats do though . They are much better than the Standard seats ...try before you buy is always a good idea ... I did that and bought a pair the next day or so
