    if the interior is stripped out and buckets are thrown in as i said would look awesome but with rollcage would be better tbh !

    If you get a R/S later you can always swap the seats over, go for it! I've seen flat arches with buckets.

    i say got for it. someones put buckets in my old furio. buckets are for cornering speed anyway, rather than sheer pace, so dont worry about it being a furio.

    i was thinkin of something similar for mine once my list is done - in the end i pussied out and got some mk1 vtr seats

    if you are putting buckets in a furio i would suggest getting rid of the fantastic furio interior all together

    as for your other concern - a furio looks like a vt* so people wont think you are an idiot - and at the end of the day - it will look better than standard seats - i say go for it

    I think fitting buckets in any car deserves the "you twat" treatment.

    If it comes with buckets as standard then its all good. Yes I know I have buckets.
