MINI Cooper S R56 R57 R58 FAFE Fast Road Trackday Slim Bucket Seats 06-13

Vehicle-Specific Barbarian Racing Seat Package for MINI Cooper S R56/R57/R58 R56/R57/R58 06-13

About the MINI R56 / R57 / R58 Fitment

The second-generation MINI platform covers several body styles but shares the same basic appeal: a compact chassis that benefits from good driver support. A performance-seat package can sharpen the driving position for road or track use while keeping the mounting hardware vehicle-specific.

Cabin and installation notes: Body style affects access and roof space, so check the listed seat dimensions against your exact R56, R57 or R58. Wider seats should be checked at the tunnel, door and shoulder area, while convertible and coupe models deserve extra attention to upper-seat and roof clearance.

Seat Model and Specification

FAFE Slim Fixed-Back Fibreglass Bucket Seat

The Barbarian Racing FAFE is designed around compact packaging. Its 48cm maximum lower width and 56cm maximum upper width make it one of the slimmer full-height seats in the range, while the black suedette trim and ribbed padding give it a more premium appearance than the brushed-felt models.

Why choose the FAFE? It is a strong option for MX-5s, small coupes and other tight cabins where every centimetre of tunnel, door and roof clearance matters, but where you still want a full fixed-back seat with an integrated head-restraint shape.
