They look amazing. Fancy putting some in mine for me?
 
They look darn fine. Only ever sat in so dodgey pornstar red rx8 seats but they were spot on
 
They look nice, but now it´s time to change your door panels and other plastics for dark grey ones as these bright coloured really look awful ... :D

well i work for a ford main dealers and the mot tester said they will
be fine as to pass mot the seat has to move in two places, for example the back ajusts n the seat slides forward n back, but at the moment my air bag light is on what is mot fail. but that will soon be sorted :)

Seemingly, that's not strictly true.
There was a clause in the MOT Regs that basically said if the seat didn't have a fore/aft adjustment or a back adjustment, then these features couldn't be assessed but did not constitute a fail.

I will have to dig out the exact wording as it was in the most recent issue of Banzai, they clarified the changes in regs and some "loop holes" (if you want to call them that) that are quite often misinterpreted.

Same with harnesses, provided it has either an E Mark or confirmed FIA/Motorsport Organisation body Homologation and no tears or frays, they can pass an MOT.

ANYWHOO, seats look awesome dude :) need to darken the doorcards etc now though :)

box section in between to give some lift, i could try n explain in detait idf needs be or
