BB6 (bad boy classics) seats, any experiences?
I'd like to start off by saying I know these are cheap, and I'm sure they will be quite nasty.

However on the off chance they are actually ok, and will do me for a year or two till I can justify the recaro's.

Anyone seen any of these In the flesh? Got them fitted?

Are they comftable? Straight swap/bolt in?

Thanks

I will have a set of XS heated half leather seats for sale in a couple of weeks if thats any good to you.
My car has done 5700 miles so they are in really good condition.

Thanks for the offer jay and Mike, however my current seats are perfectly fine, just wanted an upgrade so the XS won't be any good to me.

And the buckets look decent but perhaps a bit small for my big bum and want reclining.

i think killer90 on here supplies a better version of them with runners ready to fit! little bit more expensive but prob worth it if they drop straight in. not sure if he still does them though! My 109 thread

Thanks G-Mac, I'll try and hunt killer 90 down and drop him a PM


Seems nobody has any experience with the BB6 seats then........ Shall I be the first to take the plunge? Confused

"My current sats are perfectly fine, just wanted an upgrade"

There may be a reason why you've had no response on the BBs. Not many people would consider a £300 pair of seats to be an upgrade from XS, part leather, heated seats. At that price level it's highly unlikely they will be a worthwhile change.
If you take the plunge do let us know what you think about the quality, comfort, finish and durability. Thumbs Up

I don't have xs, so no part leather and no heating.

I don't "need" to upgrade, I just love the look/feel/support a bucket gives, and rather than spending £2,000 plus on the recaros I wondered if these were half decent for a bargain.

Might take the plunge, can always return them if they turn out to be tat.

Or pop in their shop and have a play first

Thanks

Sorry, my mistake abut the xs trim.
Would still like to hear what you think about them, and if they are indeed a bargain.
