Anyone know where I can get the Malt Brown sidewalk edition seats for a R52. Or could my current seats be reupholstered to look the same?

Thanks!

 

I looked for a couple years for the set I found. I found them on Craigslist a few years ago, they aren't perfect but neither is my car. I was able to get the door armrest pads and steering wheel also. Its rare to find them. I think Allmag had their first set about a year ago and wanted crazy money for them. I suggest looking on car-parts.com for salvage yards with cars. Unfortunately most I've seen listed there were destroyed because they don't protect the seats from weather when windows or top are left down or removed.

If you don't want to wait and have the money you could have them recreated by an upholsterer. That may be the best solution as it does seem like the top foam goes flat even on low mile seats. You could also tweak the color a little if you want as the original goes a little orange for my taste.

 

Beautiful. Love it with the grey. Thanks for the info.

 

I just put mine in this weekend - got them from redlineautoparts.com, which is my goto place for Mini.

 

That looks awesome! When did you get them? I've been watching that site for more seats.

 

Thanks! I bought them about a month ago. I'd been thinking to replace the tan interior with black, but decided at the last minute to leave it. This is the second set I've seen there. Allmagautoparts is another site for mini parts if you havent seen it yet. I saw an article where someone put r57 seats in his r52 also, with a small modification, so that may be another route.
Next up is the sidewalk steering wheel (already purchased), the joyingauto 6.5 single din android radio (also already purchased, but waiting on the connector kit because "harman kardon"), and possibly wood trim for the dash (not sure).

 

Just bumping this up. I am still looking if anyone knows were a set is, or has used a good upholstery in So Cal area. Thx
