Default Fitted Corbeau seats today

Hi, i recieved my two new Corbeau Forza sport seats yesterday, and just finnished fitting them. Im well pleased with the result!
I wanted to use the existing seat rails, so made up some basic adaptor plates, as the new seat's base was 140mm narrower than the existing ones.

Hears the rails withe the adaptor plates, see well basic!


And how they look in the car.






And the seats!




I was a little worried about the red after i bought them, but i think it adds a bit of colour to the drab interior.
They retain the slide and seatbelts.
The only thing i will say, they're going to be a pain to keep clean!

Are the rails easy to remove from the seats ?

Then just a case of 4 relocating end brackets.

Yeah, just two bolts per rail, i was expecting it to be a pain, but it was quite simple.
The plates i made have a hole spacing of 75mm. The only problem i had was with the sliding adjustment, the tab that the cable attaches to just needed bendig to clear the seat frame.

Been out for a drive today, very pleased! They sit lower in the car, which i like, and also makes the car feel quicker/ handle better, which is strange
Getting in/out is a bit more tricky! Girlfriends refused to wear a skirt in the car again!
