Nice!!

How do they feel height wise? I have the factory JCW Recaro’s and brackets in an R53 and the seats sit higher, even at the lowest mounting points. It’s the only thing I don’t like about the seats, other than the new JCW logo. I would have preferred the version with the 1st gen logos, but they were no longer available.

Thanks,They sit about the same as the old seats did when positioned all the way down. He incorporated the OEM rails and sliders minus the up & down mechanism. Very happy with how they turned out. He was going to add the old Gen1 JCW logo but I figured if they ever did go into another car all I do is change out the brackets. Plus it would have been a complete reupholster job and added another grand or so.

Looks great and your R53 is so clean, love all those mods, I did the 4 Pot JCW brakes on my R52 also.

I've seen Stu's car in person and it is nothing short of a work of art! The seats look great man! I'm definitely saving my pennies for this being my next big mod. SICK.
