    Leather Lounge Seats

    Thanks each of you for the nice welcome and the suggestions. :biggrin5: I did email Steven to see what suggestions he may have. Also contacted The Used Parts Factory - apparently they have contacts throughout the U.S. for whatever part/s your looking for. Already had one reply from Saratoga Classics and he says he's going to research his contacts to see if he can get the seats for me. (not holding my breath here, as I think it's like looking for a needle in a haystack). Recovering MINI seats (so I've been told) is a dodgy business because of air bags / seat belts/ wiring etc. However, I figure a reputable shop ought to know their business where that's concerned.
    I'll keep you posted on the "developments".

    Welcome Aboard!

    Junk yards are the cheapest. Get the seats with what ever color and get new covers the color you want.

    If it's just the color your after get your current seats recovered.

    Welcome aboard. Agree, recovering yours would probably be the cheapest way to go, and you could get exactly what you want.
