2005 Mini Cooper S Walkaround & Interior Upgrade | R56 Seats Swap for £40!

Welcome back to Old Skull Garage! This time, I’ve picked up a 2005 Mini Cooper S (R53), and in this episode, I’ll take you on a full walkaround to show you the mods already done to the car. But that’s not all-I’m also upgrading the interior by swapping in seats from the newer R56 model!
To get the new interior, I took a trip to the local scrapyard, Henry Buckland’s, where I scored an R56 interior for just £40! An absolute bargain. But of course, no project is without issues-fitting the new seats wasn’t as straightforward as expected, but in the end, they look amazing inside the car.
Car Details:
Model: 2005 Mini Cooper S (R53)
Engine: 1.6L Supercharged Inline-4 (163 hp)
Mods Already Done: TBD (Tune, exhaust, suspension, etc.)
Interior Upgrade: Swapping R56 seats into the R53 Mini
Cost of Upgrade: Only £40 from the scrapyard!
What’s Covered in This Episode:
Walkaround of my 2005 Mini Cooper S and its current mods.
Scrapyard hunt at Henry Buckland’s to source an interior upgrade.
Fitting R56 seats into my R53 Mini-not as easy as expected!
Final result-the new seats make a huge difference!
