got some new seats in today. what do people think?
they are alot lower down than the standard ones as they're on the standard runners.

I like that, suits the colour scheme very well,

Were the seats a direct fit?

no, fully custom installation.

a friend did them for me for Â£40. used the old runners with the new seats- no sub frames. so thats how they are quite low down

i'l get some pics of how they have been put in.

Suits the colour scheme but not to my taste.

I think that would be my comment as well.

Same here, Recaro's would be the only aftermarket seat for me, like the S3 ones, mmmm

I got a bargain once, that would have been ideal for trimming, I bought a Cobra Sidewinder for Â£80 and they retail for Â£300, it had been a display model, and faded.

Never used it and sold it for Â£100

How about side airbags? Here in Finland one cannot change front seats because itÂ´s not allowed to "downgrade" oem safety equipment.

Seats with side airbags it a whole new story, but I guess those are too expensive so nobody really does that.

Btw. Your interior looks alot better that way!
