morning all!!

quicky on metro seats -

how well do they fit?

are they easy to put in or are they a pain in the back side?

whats the head rest like on the ceiling when you pull the chair forward?

reason i ask is because ive been offered a set but i dont know if they fit

he says they just "drop straight in" lol

I had some in mine. Fitted quite nicely. Dont recall any issues with hitting the roof.

I welded in a 2nd cross member (bar) to support the rear. I bolted them down to the tops of the 2 crossmembers into captive nuts I welded in place.

Very comfy. They were the GTi seats.

EDIT: found some pics
