Recaro buckets for R56 into a R53 ?

[Pip1968]

I have seen some R56 Recaro bucket seats for sale that I am looking at puting into a R53 (I may have the designation wrong there) 2006 Mini GP. Does anyone know if I am likely to encounter any problems doing this? I assume all are interchangeable or are the runners all different?????

I know the GP has Recaros but more comfortable chair than race like the buckets which seems a bit of an oxymoron really.

Any pointers appreciated.

You mean like this? I know he had it done by the dealer so can't be that hard haha

Exactley what I am looking at doing if I buy but the link on the other thread regarding the GP shows an ebay link that does not seem to mention the GP as being suitable for Recaro buckets.

Are these different ie Works bucket seats?
