ring capital seating and spend 300 on subframes, tell them what seats they are and thell sort you out

just get some subframes knocked up for £50 at a local metal fabricator. its really not difficult.

£300 for subframes is robbery!

I have a fabricator that can make the frames up as they've made mine. Probably looking at £120 delivered to you.

I made mine out of megane coupè seat runners, took about 2 hours.

£300 for some seat rails i thought they would be about £100-150 which i wouldn't be bothered about paying. i think i will just make something up at work.

did those seat runners fit straight into your Clio?

did those seat runners fit straight into your Clio?

no, I had to modify where it bolted. Wasn't a massive difference though.
here's a slightly better picture.

So the difference in height between the rails that bolt to the floor was the same then?

Could recaro subframes from a Clio be modified to fit my coupe?

The megane ones were slightly higher. with a bit of work they'd fit. I only didn't use the clio ones because the megane runners bolted to the seat in better positions than the clio.

Your best bet would be to offer one up and see how far away it is before you start modifying it haha!

Has anyone had them fabricated, I agree £300 is ridiculous when I fabricator can knock them up for £50..
