    They look great, but from my experience they are a bit unforgiving if’n the road is somewhat choppy.

    I agree that when the roads are relatively smooth it feels like you are driving on rails but I believe that having just bit more sidewall would make life a little easier.

    Did you already receive your reimbursement for the welding ?? Hope the repair holds up and you have have no further problems.

    That ain't purdy, but if it holds you're good. I'd guess you'll be seeking a new can in a while.

    I agree, not pretty and I suspect it will last 6 months to a year as vibration will kill that weld. Did they well with unit on the car, if so explains the ragged result.

    Here’s hoping that Borla does the honorable thing if and when you need them next time.

    Are you trying to recover your original GP seats or looking to replace the original seats altogether ?? If’n I’m reading RealOEM correctly just replacing the original seat covers is an insanely expensive proposition.

    The skins are crazy expensive. Driver seat also needs a new heating pad, also not cheap. For the price I would pay to fix, IMO and uncomfortable seat, I could buy a complete after market set. I am leaning towards Corbeau because you can get the seats heated. There are three models in the running, A4 - GTS II - RRX.

    At a very quick glance I think I like the GTS II the best.

    I don't hurt while I'm still in bed, It's after I get up that things start to hurt.

    A little interference never hurts a MINI.
