Are JCW seats interchangable?

Greetings, I've got a 2002 Cooper S with the vinyl seats that are starting to crack and wear...

Will a set of leather seats from a 2005 JCW Mini fit into my car without modifications???

thanks/steve

I believe they are the same brackets, so yes they should. Just make sure your airbag connectors line up and fit.

If the 2005 is a 2004 year PRODUCTION, yes, 100% should fit.....and be sure the battery is removed/not connected or the key is not turned on when you do the swap...so you DO NOT SET AN AIRBAG code.
if it is a post jan 1 2005 production....those cars came with DUAL stage airbags..so I am not sure. I do know the PAX side seat DOES have a weight sensor..so an extra plug...and MAYBE modified airbags for the dual stage..could just be the dash...not sure.
YOU COULD plug in your car, and a 2005 into realOEM...see if the seats are the same part #.
