JCW Seats - the look and feel is superb IMO.

Got the regular 'sport' (= Cooper S) seat option in the One and after 111,000 kilometres I must say I reckon this to be an essential. The standard seats not only lack lateral support, but also are most definitely not designed for 6'3" males... hehe

Best thing is, ticking the 'sport seats' box in the option list automatically upgraded one to the Cooper upholstery (mine has a red interior) from that horrible cloth pattern they put in the One as standard. (an obvious attempt to make punters go for the more expensive versions... ).

At 379 euro, it's also one of few MINI options that's not horribly overpriced.

379 euro for the pair? That is a good deal. I'm sure they're nearer a grand in the UK. Someone here must know?

I have them, absoultely the best seat I've ever had the pleasure of using in a car. PITA to get in to the back seats though.... Perfect for the Works GP !

JCW seats are fantastic, I wish I had them!

They're actually re-covered Cobra seats if anyone wants some cheap ones covered in fabric, but I can't remember the model name.

to be fair the reason you though they were cobras is because that's what everyone always says they are..!
