I'm planning on using a couple of center rear seats for a mk1 renault scenic. They fit really nice width wise and attaching the runners will be easy too. I'll just have to do a bit of work to re-cover them.

That looks like a good solution, just had a look on eBay too, not badly priced either. Think I'm leaning toward the grp seats though, just not sure on which ones!!

Cheers

I went with the KPD ones, they seem ok.

There may be an upgrade in the future , but that will be the same with a number of aspects of the car . engine, wheels, seats, etc may see attention over time as funds and ideas allow.

Yea, I was thinking that too, there will be many upgrades in the future and as long as they're not dreadful (what I was worried about,) then I think they're worth a punt. Cool, cheers TT

The seats & runners I am using are from KPD. They seem pretty good for the money. Have a look at the picture below to help you decide.

Cool, that looks great Dave! The seats look a lot better quality than they do on their own website, is the upholstery nice and tight in yours then? I know that sounds a bit OCD! Might go for the soft ones after all then.

Cheers

They are pretty good. I was quite pleased when they arrived as I had also heard stories of them not being well made.
