no its only 2 inch wider than a locost. if you look in the book it gives the max seat width. i dont have the book to hand at the min.other wise i
would have posted up the measurement.

before i decided to make my own seats, i looked around the scrappers for ones from a smart car, they would look awesome in the locost, but even with
the +4 i'm building they're too wide.
the max seat width my car can take is 40cm, so i guess for yours (which is a +2) you'd be looking at 38? maybe 36? not many production cars have
seats this narrow.
plus, even if you find a pair of seats, they're either too heavy and they'll be reclining, etc..
