Advice with clubman estate
Just wondering what kind of seats people have in their clubman estates. Doing mtm in mine but I want to come out the other side with my back in one piece. Any pictures or advice welcomed, thanks jp

Re: Advice with clubman estate
i've got mg-metro seats in the front of my clubman: really comfortable, and quite easy to fit: there are fabricated plates to use the existing mounting points on the crossmember and also some little struts (as seen in pic) for the rear of the sliding frame. so the seats do adjust back to front.
i would fit them again but a little closer to the centreline, as the tilt release catch fouls the B pillar. also id like to be able to adjust the angle of the seat cushion.

Signature still awaiting top-coat and lacquer....

Re: Advice with clubman estate
Did my first MTM with the standard slightly worn RSP seats in the Cooper I was wrecked for a week after but the second time I put Rover 220 Tomcat seats in and it was much better.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

Re: Advice with clubman estate
Yes, fully operating back seat. The Recaros have a fairly slim back so don't take up much rear leg room

Re: Advice with clubman estate
I had a set of the Tenzo seats in a Toyota twincam i had, one of the most uncomfortable seats i'v had in a car the were very wide and as mine were a little worn you could feel the steel frame when you sat on them
thats not to say those would be the same but i'd say they are 2 wide for a mini
