Try get your hands on a set of seats from a late mini from around 93 on.. They will fit with no modifications and are very comfortable... The thing to look out for is the headrest. The later more comfortable high back seat has 2 posts on the headrest not just 1. You can also get nice custom made leather seat covers to give them a new fresh look.

If you were to get your hands on a set of front seats from some sort of Jap boy racer i.e. Civic, Glanza. There is plenty of them being broken on the likes of Gumtree.ie, DoneDeal.ie, Adverts.ie etc. They will need modification but very comfy!
