Like the title says, who has em'? I would like to know your impressions and the quality of them.
I also, want to know if anyone has somewhere I can find them.
Anyone have any they want to sell?

Please post pics as well

Thanks, Chris.

Thanks Jon, I checked with MachVDan and they are all out!
I will see how this Promini thing works out...I was going to adapt these to allow for harnesses and make the stock seats into race seats, but I may have a chance to snag a pair of Sparco Monza Full suede that are black and blue and would match extremely well!
I'll keep you posted, I still have to make my office chairs you sent me instructions about...

I cannot wait to make mine.

I think it would be smarter to buy the Sparcos...I can get the pair for $850 NEW and the Orciari would be $780 + my fabbing + paint + etc...

I have the Oricari's & might be getting rid of them pretty soon for a racing seat swap out. My car is in the good hands of Custom Mini Shop, but next time I'm over there I'll snap some pictures for you. They look fantastic & whenever people look through the rear hatch they comment on how sweet the seat backs look.

Off topic, but Indigo, do you think that I could get a set of those instructions to make my MINI seats office chairs. I have one sitting next to me and it tells me everyday that it misses me sitting in it.

On topic, for Sparco's that cheap you would have to be stupid to not pick them up. I bet they would look amazing in suede too.

Hey guys, I sadly could not pick up the Sparcos...It was a helluva deal, but it turns out they were not suede and I really want to either fab up some Orciari's or get some Porsche GT3 "elephant ear" seats

Chris, will the GT seats fit in the MINI? The "ears" are pretty wide. It doesn't seem like they would fit into the door. Would be a freakin' sweet seat to have though. Good luck with whatever you do choose to do though.

I have not gotten as far as measuring yet. Those are a ways off. With their price tags....I will have plenty of time to figure out how to fit them in
