Tell you what, you could look for a crashed V6 sport and nick the rear seats and door cards from that - the blue would be a pretty close match to the recaros you have there!:afro:

How much work was it to fit the seat and do yu get full movement control? I really want to fit some electic, heated, leather, comfy seats from another car but I wonder how much work I'd need to do with runners.
I really like those and I could live without leather for the right set of seats.

I do have the rest of the EVO including door cards to retrim to match bench is so close it is irritatingly far away/Grrr
I have full functionality of the seat the back rest is a bit tight to get to though but those with more girly hand may be ok my gorilla mitts struggle
To be honest to fit IT I used about 3m of steel plate50mmx5mm
I will take a picture

Cut 2 lengths off 1 about 660mm and 1 about 700 to go as diagonals
In 1 drill 2 holes about 11mm diameter with 615mm between centers and on was 630mm between centers
Cut 2 lengths to suit new runners after removing brakects
Drill 9mm hole in this plate to suit bolt hole spacing 13.5inches
Fit diagonals some bending may be required I also bent the stud in the floor to a more vertical position
To mount seat to diagonals drill and tap m8 to suit correct position
I used a 5mm washers on the front of the rail and it was about 70mm spacer on the rears to level the seat
Enjoy/rally and do check dimensions
