Looks spot-on!

I have the same seats but the carbon version, they are the most comfiest and supportive seats that I've sat in!

How do the seatbelts work with them in? are you going to re-route them so they work through the bottom holes as surely you could slide out with the height of the sides, or do what I have done and get some e-marked harnesses?

as for the last mods....

Cheers for all the comments folks

The seats are very snug, i mentioned to her in doors that she may struggle to fit and i got a slap.

So far i have just got the seat belt in the old position but i will be looking into other options.

The problem with harnesses is that i have two kids and for all that they are very rarely in the car, if i go for full harnesses it means that the rear seat is out of action.


Cheers Frayz .

I have to agree with Frayz, here, best looking early classic.

Have you thought about a harness bar?

I am not entirely sure. I believe there are a few members on here with a harness bar, like for instance Frayz, but he has no rear seats.

Cheers

As for harness bars.

Yes you can still use the rear seats but in all honesty i wouldnt want to for safety sake. I cant imagine the damage to the rear occupants if the worst was to happen . For that reason id say if you use one then deffo do not carry passengers in the rear.

Get one and powdercoat it a nice satin black and you wouldnt even know one was in there

Are the seats fixed or can you slide them? I'd like some like that in mine eventually but I occasionally let the wife drive the car and she's a bit shorter than me. It's always fun trying to get in the car when she's put it in the garage

Flaps my seats are fixed, it was a cost / height issue. I could have used the original runners but the seat would have sat to high. There are aftermarket subframes available but i wasnt willing to pay the cash for them.

Cheers Hopefully one day i will get myself down to prodrive for the tour. I went to the autosport show at the necc to see L555BAT in the flesh .
Couldnt make it down to the Mcrae gathering, i was gutted.

As far as the harness bars go i will have to leave it for now but one day the car will become just a two seater.
