Hey all i was given an OMP race seat by a friend who is going to England. Im thinking of getting it retrimmed (blue) and fitting it into my vl (using standard vl rails) does anyone know what the legalities to this would be? Im also thinking of getting the 3point harness to suit and bolting to the rear seat support between the lower seat base and back rest.

This is the seat i have according to the OMP website they are FIA approved but say nothing about adr (suprise suprise) There is nothing wrong with the calais seat just this is more comfortable and has better grip. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
