Cheers Adrian,I'll look into that. I just assumed that because it passed for Renault then it would for me.

You should be fine if the headrest retracts into the seat.

I may have to do something with the headrests because when they're down to less than 25mm gap the seat base to headrest distance may be to small. It's a small thing and I'll worry about it nearer IVA time.

They are. Very comfy and fold down when not in use. And I've got them for half the price of the alternatives.

The scenic ones don't really do it for me, but a good bargain.

I think these would look good, bit pricey though

If you go with cloth seats, mx5 and rx7 ones are easy and cheap to get hold of. I'm not sure how high you would sit in the car with them in for us taller drivers.

Still not sure what to get myself.

The MX5 ones are too wide unless you're willing to spend a fair bit of time and effort modifying them. They are very comfy though!

One question regarding the L7 seats.
The mounting points are the same with the Triton seats?
So if i make my seat mounts to fit the Triton, will i be able to fit the L7 seats without altering the mounts?

Picking up my seats this week.
I've gone for a pair of second hand westfield ones with runners for £130, they're my favorites style for padded seats so chuffed as long as they are in good nick! They even have white piping to match my bodywork so happy days!

DC shame you had problems with Triton ones on my last build I had some and the quality was top notch. I did hear and as said earlier a few companies have copied (taken moulds) from their design and in some cases selling them as Triton seats on ebay. I don't think Triton has made these for over two years, did you definately get originals?
