I'm trying to find out whether the late airbag recaros from a Plus would be a direct fit into a R reg 20VT. Can anyone confirm this for me?

I remember CarlT saying they are major hassle to fit them in any Coupe other than the original and were therefore not worth as much.

I understand the mounting points were very different - Carlt had to cut and re-weld the floor on his car to get them to fit (Carl's car wasn't originally a Plus, despite what he said)

Cheers guys, I thought there was an issue with fitting these, but didn't realise it involved cutting and re-welding of the floor shocked
