I am looking to get some more bucket type sports seats for when we do track days in the Chim, even with a 4 point harness around the corners you still get thrown around a lot with the standard seats.

Anyone have experience of what does actually fit?

I like the look of those (and allow fitting of harness)

Do you know if the I or II is the one pictured? do they both fit? the II is wider and that is always the constraint to fitting, that and position of our rolebar may pose issues.

Are they the wider ones ? What would you do without me cool The whole interior would of looked spoton in that colour combo ,

Are they leather ? and did they take much fitting ? Rob had to fit them on a board .
They are the wider ones. And I agree on colours - may look at re-doing the central bit in black + orange + the door cards, we used too heavy leather last time and it has wrinkled (all a learning curve!)

Fitting was not easy from what my Dad said, but I will let him answer what he did.

Just a thought, but if you were having the interior retrimmed would it be possible to reduce the padding around the transmission tunnel to allow a slightly wider seat? Would be great to be able to sit some nice Recaros.
I don't think the padding is any wider than the chassis width - so the answer is no.

Probably a silly question Nick (as you've bought them) but how are they comfort wise ? as I think you & I are a similar build. I've been thinking about these for some time but not had the time to get over to Telford for a try. Also if you don't mind me asking, what do I need to budget for in 2 colour leather ? (unless they're vinyl of course). Thanks in advance. Richard
I have not tried them yet, the car is still up in Norfolk, my Dad said they were very comfortable but probably not for long journeys.

Will be at Snetterton on Monday if you can make it along.
