Ive got a set of corbeau Targas sitting in my garage im dreading trying to fit them i was thinkin of using standard subframes. Seeing yours looks good might give me some motivation for mine. Or can i really be bothered with the hassel??? :lol: :lol:

They look great Lee, well worth the effort.

On another note, has anybody ever tried to make the standard seats any more suportive and more comfortable ?

Something like that, I just wonder what it would cost to get the standard seats re-upholstered (in as close as poss standard fabric and colours) and the side supports just made a little more substancial to give more support.

If it could be done at least they would be straight forward to refit.

Steve, I've done something similar, well, sort of. I stripped my seat covers off and re-packed them with stuffing from a duvet .

I was trying to restore the seat bolsters a bit cos they had flattened out over the years.

A lot more supportive, but to be fair, no where near as cool looking as Lee's interior now, they looking fucking cool.

 

[maz]

do u have to get harnass's to go with those seats?

 

[SickBoy]

You dont have to as they were refitted with the original seat belt clips

But i will have 4 point harnesses fitted very shortly

Had a 200 plus mile drive today and i must say they are very comphy and supportive

[stevepudney]

Sad days
