The seats look ace. Set the car off fine!

[@SmugwoodMini]

They’ve been so much better on my back compared to the ones I had before. My only moan with them is that after sitting on them all the way back on the subframe, it’s dented my side bins in the back…only noticed this week. Not a major issue but a little annoying. But the seats themselves are really comfy and do compliment the car.

Nice update.

Thanks :-) Next job...getting the car tuned up (fingers crossed)
