[jamie281093]

shocked they actually fit inside haha

[Ross]

I'll believe it when I see it ;)

[mlawlan69]

does the door still close, and can you use the handbreak is my question!!!!

[greyjasper51]

Ive got a reclining armchair in mine...

[jamie281093]

if i see it done i'd be tempted to do it myself if it isnt a stupidly tight fit (which it probably is) as some half leathers are much cheaper than gti ones :)

[Prickle]

does the door still close, and can you use the handbreak is my question!!!!

ott..? in bold

Swear people get carried away with using them or something lol..

[Ross]

306 gti seats in a 106 are tight - handbrake difficult to get to. Can't picture bmw seats being thinner...!!!111!!!111!!!!!!!

[LSOfreak]

doesnt wassy have m3 vader seats in his?

[Ross]

doesnt wassy have m3 vader seats in his?

good shout - wassy does indeed have m3 seats in his, retrimmed to match his interior iirc. So they do fit! Just need pics here, and details of how they're mounted now - be interesting to see what's been fabricated mount wise to get them to line up :)

[thapla]

i have mounted fighter jet ejector seats in my vtr, but i'm not going to post any pics or say how i have mounted them :y:

[samclose]

Ill try get the pictures on but they are just bolted straight to the floor

[blackie_2k5]

Same as most really

Custom frames knocked up or Oe adapted

[samclose]

And I don't kno how to upload pictures onto here and what's point in people being twats about it?

[Prickle]

Photobucket and [ img ]

[samclose]

BMW seat rails on the seat and drilled holes in the floor to bolt it too

[blackie_2k5]

I hope you used spreader plates.. Saxo floor isn't strong enough to support seats

[greyjasper51]

Apparently its a common problem for them to pull out...

[samclose]

There we go uploaded

[Prickle]

Im not so sure mate. :/

If they were grey/black id be more swayed likes

[stevo67]

And I don't kno how to upload pictures onto here and what's point in people being twats about it?

People aren`t being funny,but anyone can say i`ve fitted this that & the other but without pics there is no proof.Plus if you have it might prove instructive to others thinking about doing it mate.:drink:

[samclose]

Iv only put these in because mate changed to a leather interior and was going to bin them so I wanted these and sat lower so feels nicer to drive

[blackie_2k5]

Apparently its a common problem for them to pull out...

Whoever previously owned my rallye carpet must have had his buckets bolted to the floor

Holes in the carpet on the thinnest piece of the floor :panic:

[LSOfreak]

im sure there are saxo/106 seats which look better like?

[samclose]

Didn't sit low enough tho

[Mochachino]

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg155/samclose/image-1.jpg

I think i prefer standard Saxo seats, they look really dated and faded. I was expecting some decent E36 seats not out of a 316 or something!

whats the curtain tie back thing in th headrest?

[Superdupersaxo]

That must look really good.

[Cam]

Thats bloody ugly i'd rather the 1.1 forte seats :homme:

[jamie281093]

i was expecting some nice leathers or at least half leather :/

[Bedford126]

Dont crash with the harness like that you will more than likely die.

[LSOfreak]

yes^^

that will fuck your neck up in a crash, just use your normal seatbelts unless you have buckets.

is it just the picture or are them seats really stained?

[Prickle]

is it just the picture or are them seats really stained?

yer they're manky!

[samclose]

They don't look that bad in the sun light and they arnt out a 316 they are from a 328

[mlawlan69]

christ they look awful, honestly.

now you know you can get them in save for a nice/leather set or something.

but i would say those are a step down from saxo seats, look less bolstered than the passenger one in your saxo!

[shaneio]

Eughhhhh, may I ask why? Seat looks like you would fall out when cornering. Take them back to the scrap yard

[wassy78]

yeh i have bmw seats well done on doing different seat but my self i feel as there are better seats you could of used that could of made a better look and also sit low as you wanted :)

[Jizanthapus]

Personally, I rekon these would probably hold you in better...

[chinkostu]

Have you attached the harnesses onto the headrest?

My face could not be any further into my palm

[GAS_7]

All thy effort to fit for what?! You might as well built your own seat out of a bucket and a used pallet!

Or maybe your a dwarf who needs the height adjustment seats, would explain a lot....

[stevo67]

Surely this would be more comfortable? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-BENTWOOD-RATTAN-LIGHT-OAK-ROCKING-CHAIR-LIVING-BED-ROOM-CONSERVATORY-/180897589137?pt=UK_Home_Garden_LivingRoom_RockingC hairs_SR&hash=item2a1e562791

I agree, I personally love VTS seats :) I like the pattern and personally I think there comfy

[benwh555]

Please tell me you use spreader plates. If not then please take the seats out straight away for your own and passengers safety.

[GTuff]

granny spec sx seats

Pimpseats... Going to be bought for the sax those badboys :D

[DavidsVTR]

I'd prefer these recaro's tbh...

[moony]

pics needed!

[samclose]

The harness goes between the headrest and seat to the rear seat belt mounts what's so unsafe about that?

[Bean]

Say if you weigh 12st for instance, you hit something a 40mph. You think the the splines that hold the headrest in will hold that much pressure? I know they're bolted in the back but all the belts will want to do is open out, it's unsafe and also the mounting of your seat will be unsafe

[Jay_]

And it looks shit.

[samclose]

It's your oppinion that it looks shit I like them

[Ashleyp]

Saxo VTS, airbagged seats > E36 seats in terms of comfort, IMO.

(unless they're e36 Vaders.)

[saladdodger]

Holy fuck they look bad.

IMO

[Jay_]

It's your oppinion that it looks shit I like them

I was referring to harness on standard seats. It's not opinion, its quite clearly a fact.

Actually, it is opinion. ;)

I know.

I was being a cock.

[Chr15]

Why are people getting so upset over something that doesnt affect them? The seats are in somebody elses car, what are you going to do about it?

Oops, wrong thread :oops:

Jeeesuuus

it like something taken out your grans house

[DanoSaxoVT]

They bolted in?haha! ?Glued in maybe...

[Gabbastard]

You know what I hate? Bandwagon mentality.

But in this case it's correct; those seats are fucking hideous and dont look much good at all! Check the Recaro seat thread for seats that are worth changing std Saxo seats for.

[Manu]

Found the harness, defo want one because it looks so safe innit, should fly through the MOT as well
