I think they look great - what thickness foam did you use and did it make much difference to comfort.
Also - what glue did you use to fix them?

The foam is 5mm thick EPDM with a self adhesive backing. The first thing I noticed when sitting in them was the warmth. Might sound daft but it really
does take that cold edge off bare GRP. They also prevent slippage.
Another few weeks and we'll find out just how good they are on track.

Not after your comment about the pinto. That's just a downright insult.

Got the foam through a friend of a friend. They also do coloured foam in the same thickness with a self adhesive backing. It isn't quite the
same quality as the EPDM stuff, although probably still more than upto the job for our application.
We're gonna give these seat pads a try and if they stand up well to abuse, will also try them in the coloured stuff.
