They are off an o/s MX5 thread (so they'll fit for 1) and they're Bride seats... but i can't find them anywhere...

They are EXACTLY what I want.

Can anyone help?

They look similar to the seats that came with the JDM only NA J Limited II (Circa 1993-'94). But those were factory Mazda seats.

Just a word of warning though...

If you're the type of person who usually park their MX5 with the top down, be wary of seat design with detachable headrest. They can be easily stolen from the car.

It has happened to someone I know.

I've never seen those before. They look very nice. Being Bride they will be eye-wateringly expensive (if they can be found).

those arent bride, they are a cheapo seat of Ebay.co.uk

i remember this debate on CR.net, the buyer bought them from ebay, and the add stated that they were a bride seat, funny that bride have never made a seat like that though.

The UK MX-5's have seats with seperate headrests, but they do not look like those.

Note that the reclining lever is on the wrong side, so I would say the owner just got them from another, completely unrelated car, and made them fit.
Looks kinda like Renault seats.

I was going to say that they look just like the seats on my old BMW Coupe . . .

That lever in the side is definitely european though .....

Good Luck !

Well... they do look like these: http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f78301262

Anyways, Bride or not, they look comfy and if it fits a mx5 without custom rails then i'm all for it - anyone know WHERE i can find these.. (hard to find them when i don't even know the brand or th model number)

I don't think they're reclining lever's. They're more likely to be the lever to tilt the seat forward to allow a passenger into the rear of a coupe ie the seats came out of a car with back seats but no back doors.

They are on the wrong side for that though, or so I would think. Since it doesn't matter in a '5, perhaps the owner has swapped the driver/passenger sides so that the levers don't hit the doors in our shoebox cars.
