Aftermarket seats for R56 ????????

Hi all,
Does anyone had/ have aftermarket seats in their Mini? I've been looking at couple of Corbeau models: sportline RRS and Evolution...compare with others the quality is better, not so expensive and they look like the European JCW recarro seats.
Any thoughts or words of wisdom, really appreciate it.

It's been done before. Use the search for more details.

If you want to replace the passenger side you have to figure out how to deal with the weight sensor which isn't a trivial problem. The drivers side is pretty much like an aftermarket seat in any other car with airbags in the seat. Just need a resistor to fool the computer into thinking the airbag is still there.
