Came home to find my new seats delivered and i'm a little annoyed.

i paid alot of doller for the seats, runners and subframes which are all ment to be specifically to fit my car but i cant even figure out how they could possibly attach to the seats!

below are picures of the whole lot, if anyone can offer any advise on how these are ment to fit or if i've jsut been sent all the wrong stuff i'd appreciate it. Will be very disappointed if i have been supplied the wrong items considering the amount of money i have spend with them on this order and also was sent the wrong steering wheel.






The car is a BMW E36 Saloon.

Thanks,
Ryan

They don't look right do they. When I fitted some Sparcos into my uncles old Celica it took me 10 mins per seat at the side of the road.

Can you not ring them and check the part numbers?

I will be tomorrow but I was just looking for some clarification really.

Really disappointed as looks like I won't have much to do over the bank holiday.

IMO, they're not the right parts for the seat.

I'm totally confused by those side mounts (if that's what they are). One bolt holding each side mount??
The rest looks OK but best to check, just needs a side mount to go on the runners.

I made my own frame and mounts up in the end from alloy angle with universal side mounts, so called E36 frames never fitted properly or made the seat too high but I'm 6ft2in.

Yeah that's the other oddity, the frame only seems to line up with 3 bolt holes in the car. Not a good start wen they cost over £100!
