[Clio_Craig]

thanks craig

got any pic's .

fitting is easy .

bolts are under the car rubber cover's on them . you will need to disconnect the battery or the air bag's may go off in your face (not good ) . fit new seat's and harnesses and connect battery up and hey presto .

£250 from You've Been Framed could cushion the blow!

 

[Clio_Craig]

nah youve been frammed i can earn some money bk on the seats!!

 

[Clio_Craig]

bk on a serious note, wat airbags do i ave to turn off etc and how do u stop the airbag light coming on etc etc

 

[Clio_Craig]

bump!

 

[mossyv6]

You have to fit 2.7 ohm resistors (Maplins) into the electrical circuit under the seat.

 

[Clio_Craig]

^^ nice one pal

 

[mossyv6]

Heres a couple of piccies mate:

Just disconnect the black connector underneath and push the resistor into the remaining half into the 2 coloured metal sleeves ......not the black wired one as this the earth. The resistor fools the computer into thinking the airbag is still present.

PS. These piccies are from a v6 but i think any clio with seat airbags are roughly the same set up.

 

[Clio_Craig]

ok brilliant that should be a great help wen i can see the pics, they dont come up at work, will let u no how it goes

 

[Tim]

the air bag thing was a school boy error when i fitted mine . they didnt go off but i didnt know i had to disconnect the battery until i posted a them on here and was kindly told that i should have disconnected the battery . lol .

 

[Clio_Craig]

:lolup:

 

[Tim]

[Clio_Craig]

i cant im at work boooo

 

[Tim]

nah not to worry laddo .

 

[Clio_Craig]

the seats look a treat black vinyl leather with silver cobra stitching and black 3 point detachable harneses

 

[Clio_Craig]

any 1 else with daytona's in their clio?

 

[Track'd]

Yeh, just put mine in on Saturday, then with new CG Lock is such an improvement. May put harnesses in at a later date mind, but spent enough this month.

Also got some £1.50 caps from B+Q, not sure what they designed for, but with a packet of blu-tak now cover the bolts and finish the look a bit better. The seat belt pre-tensioners needs covering somehow now.

 

[Clio_Craig]

nice one fella, well i brought to detachable harneses for mine so if i ever need any 1 in a the bk there is a quick release catch. im gonna fit mine saturday cant wait. are u happy with them? got any pics m8

 

[Track'd]

Yeh, very happy, shoulders now feel supported and just the overall position improved. I'll go and get a few pics.

 

[Clio_Craig]

thats wat i was hoping for cant wait to fit them, wat did u do about the airbags etc etc

 

[Track'd]

Will have to get some better pics over weekend unfortunately, but i just left the airbags alone for now as i don't mind a few more lights on. Will probably go to Maplins sometime though for the resistors.

 

[riz]

how much was the re-trimming?

 

[Clio_Craig]

i didnt get them re-trimmed m8
