Thinking of looking for some different seats for protect Chimaera. Just wondering what others are using. Pics would be good.
Thanks Steve.

People most often use Tuscan seats, Cerbera seats, MX5 seats, Elise seats, even XJS seats. I would imagine you can fit Tamora seats too...if you can get some.
A company called Intatrim, in Telford, make several seats that look like they would suit a Chimaera, but you would need to take the car to Telford to check they fit and are comfortable.
All are a fairly tight fit.

The standard seats are pretty comfortable IMHO. I tried Elise and didn't like them, so reverted to my Chim seats and got 4 point harnesses for track days.

Just been quoted £1375 + VAT for 2 seats - that's £825 a seat!
Seems high to me.
Does anyone know a more reasonable trimmer in the southeast?
