Brazil Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Wow that budy kit does look really thin...! Nice spec though, look forwards to seeing more photos..! Ps. Does your cobra misano seats rub against the door card? I've recently fitted some but mine slightly rub on the door card..! Maybe I need to try different seat rails?

Its also a shame that they don't have the automatic reclining to make it easier to get to the back seats like the OEM ones..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
