Go into the boot and look on the rear parcel tray you will find the nuts in the steel right behind the speaker, you then need to drill a hole in the woody part of the parcel tray where the carpet stuff is on.

Hi Nigel

Not quite sure what Submannz is on about

The isofix fittings are hidden between the rear seat back and seat base,from inside the car if you poke your fingers between you can feel them. The seat then bolts to these so you do not need to use the rear seatbelts at all, the only seatbelt used is on the seat itself.
I think it's one of the safest seats as it is actually bolted to the the car and will not move! Subaru do not offer any Isofix seats so I got a VW one, removed the VW badge and replaced it with an STi badge from GGR and it looks great ! I am always asked ' where did you get the STi seat'

If you need more info drop me a mail
hamilton@ibagraphics.co.uk . You are more than welcome to have at look at my seat if you are ever in the West London/Surrey area.

I was talking about the car seat anchor points. Sorry I must have missed the point on this question.

Andy,

Thanks for the info - sounds much better than meddling with belts!

When I get the car, I'll probably do the same, although not sure about going to a VW Dealer ;_). Wonder if seat cheaper at Skoda?!

Guess GGR = Graham Goode Racing
