Really nice 10/10 look better than the recaros as you have matching rears to complete

Thanks! Yes, the matching front and rear lifts the impression. Another benefit is that there is now quite a bit of room under the seats so I have been able to hide two amplifiers, a 12" subwoofer and a 10kw isotherm heater for the cold days here up north. The heater has 4 vents so I am distributing the air out on both sides of the rear seats up towards the windows and two vents out in front of the rear seats. This gives a really good airflow and a good and warm car. Helps demisting the windows aswell.

Looks good. Won't the front seats make you sit very high?

You sit a bit higher than with the original seats, but I had risers on my seats earlier and it's quite similar to that. |

Thanks! Bought them off ebay for £450 and paid a small fortune to ship them to Norway

How hard were the front ones to fit? Have recaros now with risers, will they fit directly or is there and metalwork needed?
Thanks James |

Great installation! Looks like a lovely job.
How did you fit and secure the front seats? Also, do they have power adjust and heated elements? If so, are you using them? Sandy |

The seats are a bit wider than the original ones, but the mounting holes match up on one side and then you have to drill out the two opposite holes and use a piece of metal to reinforce the mounting underneeth the car. Easy job. I've got the heater elements working, but still fiddeling with the electric seat adjustment. Will figure it out eventually, but the seats are also manually adjustable so this really isen't a problem.

Looks great. But how do you get to your batteries now?
As in The Netherlands the MOT man wants to see if the batteries are secured well. Roel 1984 90 2.5 na Diesel - RR V8 (1994-2001) 1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009) 2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts. 2003 90 Td5 (2009-now) |
