Not sure if this is a styling, handling or general maintenance "mod" so aologies in advance...
My question. What are the issues in removing the passenger seat?
I assume the passenger airbag sensor is going to complain, but will it do nothing else other than put a warning light on the dash?
It's just 4 bolts and a lead from what I can see?

There is no passenger airbag sensor unless yours is a 20vt 6 speed with airbag seats?

There were also heated seats but I reckon they're rare in UK..? Very very very rare ;-) In fact I'm not sure they were a uk option

Yeah I checked earlier. What I thought was a cable was just a bit of fabric dangling down. Good old coops. Turns out I don't have the right allen key for it though. Standard hex one and a torqx by the looks of it...

Its real easy to remove, mine comes out quite often to make the coupe more "Practical" e.g.: you can fit a full Norco A-Line downhill bike in there by removing the passenger seat. Fitting it back in can be a little fiddly though.

I removed the rear allen bolts first and now the seat will not move back far enough for me to get at the fronts. w Is this the wrong procedure or is the seat "just sticking" and needs more lube and/or jigging about. .....Or is there something more I should know? Cheers

There isn't a huge amount of space to remove the fronts - even when that are all the way back its tight against the seats. Put the rear ones back in and have a check again that the seat is going back all the way - i.e. sit on it and push with your legs.
