Recaro's fit nicely. These were custom made a few years ago in full leather.

Mx5 seats are great. They are different depending on model. I have NA series seats in my Moke (and NA MX-5). The NB seats are taller and the NC seats are much bigger and more modern.

In Northside of Brisbane there is a huge range of MX5 seats at MX5 Plus at Aspley. http://www.mx5plus.com.au/

I had Suzuki Gti seats in my old blue mini and they were ok but heavy as hell. At least 5kg heavier than MX5 seats each. The bases were also fairly thick so you can't set them low if you are tall.

It would almost be a crime to recover those seats!
They look SO good like that already!

Almost at the point of needing to go a Bench Seat for mine. Worse case was my bro's TX3 with Recaro's - just couldn't quite squeeze my arse in.
