I bought a Cooper in October. It has the cloth seats without lumbar support. I'm in desperate need of the lumbar support, nothing aftermarket is working. I've been watching ebay for seats, they come up quite often, but they all seem to be on the East Coast and the freight is just outrageous. Where can I find them more locally. Does anyone have suggests for the Bay Area, or anywhere in California?

Thanks!

 

I've been eyeing some on ePay also. I've seen them for $299, but didn't look at the shipping costs. What I suggest is to look at salvage yards, and not just in your local area, spread out to some other counties and places. If you don't mind driving 100 miles to pick them up for example. I'm sure a quick google search will give you some good salvage yards near you.

 

Try Recycle Road up in Sacramento for a salvage yard that specializes in MINI:
MAZDA & MINI COOPER RECYCLING
Stockton,CA 95201
43.3MI from Sacramento
(888) 926-5900

 

I googled salvage yards in the area, but none of them seemed to specialize in MINI. I tried the place in Stockton and they haven't had any in awhile. I guess this just might be one of those things that's going to happen on a spur of the moment. I'll have to keep an eye on the market.

Thanks for your suggestions. If anyone else knows of a place, let me know.

So I think I've found a set on eBay. They are blue and black, which could work because my car is Indi blue. My question to you guys is, in 2004 was the blue leather the same blue from 2003? Will this match my car?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true
