They are pretty tight, more suited to Japanese mid sections. It's only in Bradford so have a look see before buying.

There is a company registered in Taiwan as Bride and make the exact same seats that Bride Japan make. They will have the correct documents as they are real seats, but not made by the original Bride Japan company

No mate, I've just been looking at/for Bride seats for quite a while and he has some on eBay pretty much all the time so did a bit of research to find out how they came with docs but were so much cheaper.

I've heard of a few people that have bought the Taiwan registered seats and they all thought they were decent quality, but I have no 1st hand experience unfortunately. Also, I have no idea how they would cope in a crash

Cheapest new brides I can find in the UK are approx £850. Ill dig the link out.
For the nice looking ones (carbon recliners) you see in the magazines/blogs etc you'd be looking £1300+ each.
