the cups dont have seat airbags, but there are sensors under the seats to activate the dash/steering airnags. Have a look at Paul172cup seats pictures etc. If you need access to the back seats you can get reclining race-type seats. If you dont need to go for Sparco seats or equivalent £100 to £300 per seat including mounting brackets.

I find the cup steering wheel a touch too big but nothing bad. You can take a 90degree turn and still keep your hands in place with arms crossed. will be enough for most applications...

get konig seats, they are the daddy!

If (when) I get my Cup, I wanna get some nice sports recliners in there, so I can still use the rear seats and keep it as a passenger carrying car if I need to...

Most places like Demon Tweeks, Ripspeed, Larkspeed, etc... do a whole range of seats that will do.

carrying passengers in Cups LOL youll be lucky. Back seats are used for putting your newspaper on and other bags.

Well... the thought was there...

Been looking at seats today for a Cup and there are some really nice sports recliners about for only £200 or so each!

Will find some pics of the ones I fancy and post them...

I will have ur old ones away if theyll go straight into my Extreme without hassle?

 

[Rich-D]

My choices are....

http://www.cobraseats.com/imx/day_grgr1.jpg
(Cobra Daytona)



http://www.cobraseats.com/imx/OP_BKGR1.jpg
(Cobra Opus)



http://www.cobraseats.com/imx/SW_BKBK1.jpg
(Cobra Sidewinder)



http://www.corbeau-seats.co.uk/corb/carr1.jpg
(Corbeau Carrera - NOT in this colour)



http://www.corbeau-seats.co.uk/corb/targa1.jpg
(Corbeau Targa)


etc...


I think you get the idea of what Id go for!

Would go for a grey seat which matches the rest of the interior and probably not a blue one, unless it was a good match and didnt look OTT.

 

[Rich-D]

p.s. Look at the Cobra Opus seats, then the new 206 GTi-180 seats!

 

[paddymph]

Opus seats are good, and cheaper than sidewinder!

Ive just fitted some Konigs to my Cup and they are awesome, quite simply the best seats I have sat in, only downside is that they took 7 weeks to arrive from Germany (but still worth the wait)

 

[philip]

steve, piccies?

 

[Bryan]

it would have to be the cobra sidewinders

look awesome, would suit the cup down to the ground

 

[Rich-D]

Do we reckon stick to grey/black to match the original seats or go blue?!

 

[Jim172CUP]

when i was looking for mats i thought the same. Then I was looking in Halfords for inspiration and came across some mats that were blue trimmed, they look a treat and like they came with the car.

 

[steve-hall]

Ill post the pics sometime this week when I get my camera back

 

[paddymph]

Told ya Konigs! theyre WELL comfy
