    I am planning a new interior for my R52 and plan on doing away with the useless rear seat. Does anyone have any pic's of a rear seat delete? Are there 'kit's' available? Do I have to build my own and what about side panels?

    The fronts are going to be done in red and gray leather to go along with the present coloring. Hoping to have it done by MINI meet east.

    As always, TIA for any help or information...Teddy

    I'd recommend covering it. It just finishes it off.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    You don't have to worry about the side panels, I split mine, and made them out of metal for support.

    I have the same one as Savvy above. It is level with the floor in the back and the seatbelt is accessible for a harness.

    Sneed4Speed made mine. They have them for 1st and 2nd Gen too.

    Never mind...I was thinking Teddy's car is a convertible, though. Wouldn't that be a different delete?
