Narrowing Cobra Clubman Seats
Now the insurance has run out I've finally decided it's time to get the car back on the road.
Only problem is my replacement seats (bought ages ago) don't really fit in my +4" car. They're too wide by 1-2".
I remember someone talking about taking an inch or two out of his Clubman's. Was wondering if this was ever finished, how hard it was and if
they went back together ok.
Alternatively, rather than splitting the seat down the middle, is it possible to bend the sides in at all to fit?
Cheers,
James

Ive had to modify a merc Cosworth back seat to fit into Mk1 Golf before (looked fantastic when completed). After pulling back the outer covering the
internals are often quite simple. Could be worth doing some investigation.
Either that or sell them on and fit some lightweight weatherproof seats. I love my GRP shell seats and now they have removable pads i have the best of
both worlds. I use car in all weathers and never have to worry about soggy seats or mouldy bits.
