Hi guys,

I've been wanting to change the front seats for ages, but couldn't really find a good looking pair till I came across this:

The first option is black leather + grey felt, this should match my leather hand brake consoles just nice wink

The second option is carbon-like synthetic leather...carbon fetish tongue

The ex-works price is quite cheap, around 220 quid per seat + mounting rackets (20 quid each), I think I'm gonna get them in the next few months, will update fitted pics laugh

Cheers,

David

Am I right in thinking you have a carbon fibre hood?

In that case the 2nd option will go with the exterior!

i think having the entire seat done in CF-look is a bit OTT. it wont match with the rest of the interior.

nice looking seats tho. let us know how the mounting goes.

After market seats aren't easy to fit if you want them to sit low , i have recaro pole position ,did try with only rails and it's still higher than standard , so some welding and fabricating coming along soon!

I would advise to meassure before buy any seats!!

They also sell the racks for Fiat Coupe, so should be ok, but I stand corrected. These seats are made by a local (Taiwanese) company, the cloth versions are much cheaper...at 100 quid per seat laugh

Will probably get them after our Chinese New Year. I've just bought the lightweight flywheel and uprated clutch, so will take a while to save up laugh .

Cheers,

David
