MINI R50 FAFE Fast Road Trackday Slim Bucket Seats 01-06

Vehicle-Specific Barbarian Racing Seat Package for MINI One/Cooper R50 01-06

About the MINI R50 Fitment

The first-generation MINI has a compact, upright cabin and responds well to a more supportive seat for enthusiastic road or track use. This package combines the selected Barbarian Racing seat with the matching MINI fitting components rather than relying on universal mounts.

Cabin and installation notes: The R50 is relatively narrow, so check the seat’s lower width against the tunnel and door and its shoulder width against the B-pillar. For a car that still carries rear passengers, a reclining seat can make access considerably easier than a fixed-back shell.

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.
