Anonymous Unregistered A	I am looking to get a set of these from the place you guys got them before. I have had a search and not dug up many pics or views. So basically wondered if anyone has piccys, and also what they are like. I dont do anymore than 7000 miles a year so wear and tear isnt a huge issue. Unless they sag really quickly! Also fitting fairly straight forward? Ta Guys

Anonymous Unregistered A	I have these fitted to my car. Jimo purchased them when he had it and all I can say is they are great, really supportive, comfortable and the leather and stitching matches the back seats perfectly. JimO shoud be able to comment further as I have only covered 1200 miles in the car so far. The only drawback is that you lose the sliding seat facility making entering and exiting the car from the back seats a bit of a pain.

Anonymous Unregistered A	I would like to add that they are "firmer" than the OEM fitted seats which are soft and padded. You sit in them rather than on them as with the std seats.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Everthing jayzee said also - they are a bit higher than the standard seat, easy to lower a bit though

Anonymous Unregistered A	Firmer sounds good I have fairly long legs and a shorter upper body so I should be Ok. I assume removing the spacers lowers them?

Anonymous Unregistered A	Yep, removing the lower ones works. Need to space the rear up a little bit, otherwise the seat will not slide due to the plate bending a tad.

Just remove your old seats, move across the seatbelt bracket thingy, attach to the new seat and bolt the seats in, job done Originally Posted by Jonny - After being taken out at Spa Your car is Usain Bolt with wellies

Anonymous Unregistered A	Would black & tan be a good combo? IIRC it was hard to get a good match with these seats and coop plain tan, perhaps a black & tan combo would work?
