Viento seats
rickys2000 - 28/6/07 at 08:56 PM

As we have a slightly wider car, the standard 7 style seats seem to get lost in the space. What seat and size are you fitting to makesure that they fill the gap perfectly.
I have looked at various different makes but they all seem to be about an inch or so too wide and appear as though they get squashed in as against sitting centrally with a small gap all around

thx

We have Cobra Clubman seats which is a very good comfy seat and fits perfect, and is easy to fit on rails, and as you probably noticed yourself you really need that in a Viento!

Other option is the Cobra Imola seat, this is from origin a fixed racing seat, looks very good but is pretty tight in the seating area.

Good luck.

I fitted these !


They are 510mm wide so they are a tight fit but I can adjust both forward and back and recline if need be.
They are not very light weight but vey comfotable.
Got both of E-bay , new for £120 so suits me

Nice dash, but is that a stereo?

Watch out with the Imola - Cobra do two shells - the larger doesn't fit. It took me some time to get that information out of them after having to send a pair back to Merlin Motorsport. I think that even now the measurements on the Cobra website are wrong.......

I used seats from a Lotus Elise, had a mate put thicker foam on butt part and he then covered in orange Alcantara and blick Vinyl
Very comfy and hold me in ok

I think I am going to go for Honda s2000 seats as they give me a good fit with a knats **** of a gap aroud the sides
