they look very tall...

Trial fitted last night and they fit a treat, loads of space around them due to there small foot print and rear access better than in my fatpack.

Sub frames will need tinkering with as the sit very low, back rest angle looks very laid back but it appears to be an optical illusion as the position feels spot on. :P


What are they out of? and how much were they? they look lovely

Bought of the bay, the guy I bought them from told me he had them in a Cobra but are designed for any roadster type. They are from the Cobra signature range so to buy new were stupid money as they are finished in magnolia leather with grey alcantara. The pictures make them look a more yellow than they actually are.

I've got Mazda MX-5 seats in my van! They're not fitted yet though as we've not made the brackets! :)
