FINALLY they are in!!!

After a bit of modification to the subframes and runners, and a bit of drilling, I finally got round to fitting these seats that I ordered from the Gwent VW group buy, which had been sitting in my garage for a month or so! There was a bit of confusion with the subframes between Gwent and FK, but it's sorted now - and who I am to complain?! - I got the 2 seats, subframes and runners for 450!! Bargain! (Originally 499, but 50 discount for making me wait for the frames)

I also ordered some harnesses which bolt to the rear seatbelt clip mounting points and am impressed with the sturdiness of the whole set-up - there is NO movement/rocking whatsoever! Well happy!

Big thanks to ValverPaul for organising the group buy!

Cheers for the comments everyone!

Recardo; If you ordered through the group buy you should get them at 499; That includes the subframes the runners and the seats. Considering the retail price is 280 per seat, which doesn't include the frames/runners, I think it's a pretty good deal!

I didn't know they did leather ones either, until I was browsing their website one afternoon.

They do the 'Speed' style in leather too, but went for the 'Racer' in the end.

Chris H; I can get some pics up tomorrow. They are Sparco frames that had to be slightly modified to fit. Drill a few holes, chop a few bolts etc... but it's all safe and sturdy.

 

PMSL!! Unless you were massively obese, I think you'd wedge yourself in there fine! - You may have problems getting out though; Just make sure the frame is bolted down well and you shouldn't take the seat away with you!

oh russ did you have to pick them up or did they deliver?

 

Free delivery matey!

I went out for a quick spin this evening and f*ck me, you can corner a bit *ahem* quicker!

 

i think if i see yours in the flesh russ that will help me make my mind up.

Seats look great.

But the GAY FK logo's stitched into them would put me off

 

Dammit they're nice, better go get some work as I want 500 now!!!
