Hey guys.

Am gonna take the rear seats out of my cup, has anyone done this?

Where do i start?

hehe, cheers.

Loads of folk have!

Take the bases out, a piece of piss, even says how to in the manual I think. And then you need to remove the bolt that holds the uprights in place with a torx socket.

1. lift up bench and unhook from clips
2. fold down split folding rear seats
3. unscrew 2x torx screws which secures plastic trim behind seats and remove
4. unscrew torx screw in centre (t40 i think)
5. slide back slightly and remove
6. job done!!

[Peperami]

i thought about this! guess ur front wheels are just pulling the whole of the car around though, so the less to pull the better.

I just did mine before it went to the bodyshop. That way, they won't get soiled by the mechanics beating my rear panel out.
