You'll have better luck finding gold at the end of a rainbow. These seat rarely ever come up for sale. My recommendation is import a set of sportster CS seats with airbags and have covers done to match.

honestly might do that I’m seeing if AMX can do them cause I still want the airbags and heat in them like they offer OEM.

Yea those are really hard to find and a bunch of scammer accounts from UK on IG and FB show all that rare stuff and they have them only to be scammed.

I know people that take those seats without airbags and then get the logos embroidered. GT versions is the updated design. CS RH is on back order: https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit.../sportster_CS/

I took a set of nismo juke seats and coverted them to fit in my mini. They turned out pretty good. But it was a lot of work

I was thinking of taking seats of a bmw m series and putting them in the mini cooper but wasn’t sure how it would work. I just got done k swapping the mini cooper and the stock seats suck so bad so if I can find info on how to do it imma do it lol

AMX does them, with bags, rails, JCW logo, plug and play ready to install shipped to your door. Or at least they did a few years ago. Just be sure you’ve got deep pockets. Seats are worth more than some of the cars out there.

I literally just messaged him right before I saw this so I’m waiting to hear back hopefully he still does because Schmiedmann doesn’t offer them anymore.

Nope they are no longer new. We were one of the few people to get the last sets from MINI in Germany before they went nla many years ago. Both leather version and Alcantara version.

Yep, or someone putting them on ebay or some FB groups that are legit. Just be careful out there. Bunch of scammers on rare/high end JCW parts i have seen pop up.

Any word from AMX? I’ve emailed them twice. I’m looking for the same seats. Does anyone know anyone that currently has a set?
