On sunday i went to birmingham to pick some seats(Cobra Monaco) off "Gee2er" > Dodgy name but top bloke!
Fitted them sunday night after alot of wriggling them and punching them, to try and get them to fit, in the end lossen'd everything and then fitted and re-tighened 
Few pictures of my mates camera he taken for me, shite pics but you get the idea 






Absolute love them, but my back doesn't haha!
i think a pillow will be needed in the car very soon!
as for the "Mel Avory" - i was told they were in a rally car driven buy this Guy/Gal, I have googled the name but couldn't find anything, but if anyone can give me any info about this person that would be ace!

gotta agree i had monacos in my last corsa and ended up selling them for leather as on any long distance (even shot come to think of it) your ass will go numb as anythin!
u can buy cushions made by cobra but there stil "ard as nails on ya ass"
i stil love the look of them and u really do fell like you can thro ya car around alot more wen sitting in them

Could you post some pics of where you have mounted the harness too? I've just bought some Recaro Speed seats and am not too sure where to bolt the harnesses too. Thanks
P.S. Seats look ace

I got rid of my monacos recently, gave them to a mate. after 3 weeks of them I was sick of having a numb arse and sitting so low.
dont get me wrong, they are ideal for short journeys and maybe track use and they look the part, get a cushion and they will be fine
fitted Rob B's old Corbeu forzas now, they are much better.

Im sorry guys
More pictures!
(For EarlofBarnet )



This is where the Std seat belt hooks on to, - you undo the bolt and attach you harnesses to the BOLT not the bar!)

Please excuess the disgusting floor!
this mount comes with the subframe.


Then some random images (you guys know me by now - Posting alot of stupid pictures of the car!)





(Images look abit 
but i think thats a combination of a dirty car and CS picture hosting!)
Thanks

looking great mate. the wheels look so much better on yours than they ever did on mine!
as for the seats, I found it was the base that was a bit hard, I was going to get some high density foam to put in and trim it to match the seats, was only going to cost £30 for 2 from the local trimming place.
