legal if you get it engineered, if you remake the brackets. The last install i did were with non adr compliant seats. I never got pulled up with them in the car so i never had hassels from cops. I just had a bit of metal about 25mm high between the stock rails and the seat, which was the simplest way, but the seats were sitting very high going that route, but that's the way i liked it. The seats i've purchased for my Zed are from a eastern states comany.... but i havent seen any good looking seats for that amount of money. I paid about 900 total with shipping for no name leather seats which were adr compliant. Recaro copies.

When i took the other car into the pits to get permits for all the silly stuff police pick on they pit inspector didnt question the seats at all, and they have the power to defect your car right then and there. If you want race seats, if you can find me a pair of series 2 calais seats in grey with rails I will swap you and you can make up the difference. Mine are in the car ready to install into another if interested Cheers Arie Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Depending on the condition of the calais seats? I dont mind fair wear just not dirty ciggie burns or tears etc... The race seats will be a direct fit, out of my calais into another. Cheers Arie
