Red Is nice.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I find the seats I've got really uncomfy, I am a rather large guy and I find the bolsters in my classic uk 2000 turbo dig into the back of my ribs - What would be the best interior to go for?

Buy a set of Newage seats, the bases are slightly wider

It's not the base I need to be wider, It's the back so the bolsters don't dig into the back of my ribcage - Is the back wider also on them and if so what year would I need to get them from and are they are straight swap?

As mervil says. My dad is 6ft 3 and about 6ft wide. He's gone for the new age interior and he is so much comfier. He can now fit in the car and no longer looks like a water melon in a vice.

I have those in my car and they sit you much higher than my sparco seats and also they don't hold you in as well as STI seats and they weigh 27kgs each. They do look good though
