You'll find that 911 back seats are a good fit for the rear of the Mini as well.
A fully carbon fiber Mini Marcos shell weighs just 7.25kg.

They look really well Tony. Am thinking seriously thinking of changing my seas too. Never thought of a set of the Porsche Tombstones.
Would you recommend your man in Dundrum? Handy to know of a good trimmer being local.

The cobras are fine for short trips , but on a long spin with a bad back you will start to know about it
