Just finished installing a set of Cobra Daytona's that I had re-trimmed in leather/perforated leather with red stiching.
Thought I'd try the corbeau subframes from Demon thieves for the bravo, as it was meant to be a close fit for the coupe. Just a head up for others - it was nowhere near - new tabs has to be welded on, and it all had to be adjusted apart from the two mounting points at the front! Nightmare. Thanks a lot to Matty for the advise on finly getting these in - I think the results are worth it smile

one seat done

Looks good mate. Do you sit higher than normal? Are there no other Fiat cars which share the coupe's seat fitments??

Cheers!
About the same as my tired 100K OE seats. Think i'll be a bit lower once they settle down. Oh, and I used biger spacers at the front of the seat than I needed, to raise the front - I think its more comfy that way smile
I don't know - I thinky Matty also used the bravo subfames, but it sounds like his fitted better out the factory - not sure if they have changed things confused

The car is soooo much more fun to drive now - the seats really hug you.

That's exactly what I need - around corners I have to hold onto the wheel and handbrake lever or I feel I might slip out frown

Looking good there.

I have Daytona's in mine too, but they are fabric ones.

Do you sit much lower in those ones? I had to adapt the old subframes to fit due to the subframes I bought being no use, and I sit slightly higher than standard.

No, id say about normal hieght... The front of the seats is higher, but only because I chose to add bigger spacers...

I don't know how they can charge what they do for the frames! The one I got was no where near a fit, and was rusting! Had to clean it up and weld new tabs on before I could even start.... crazy

@ Stingray - I think I'm going to make a couple of office chairs out of the fronts i'm afraid. Not sure you'd want the drivers side one anyway, the bolster has seen beter days..
