   well im looking at putting buckets in the car but unsure whether to go for the fixed ones or recliners, opinions would help
   
   im also unsure if i want to remove back seats
   
   i would be getting the raceland ones because im not made of money lol and they would be in either black alacantra or if i get they recliners black leather look or black alacantra
   
   thoughts and views welcome
   
   thanks

   In the past i would have said fixed due to a more motorsport feel/look, but having sat in a few reclining ones, id say go for them. Then at least theres some adjustment for comfort, and you can get people in the back. Depends if you have back seats or not??
   
   Although imo i think the reclining raceland ones look cheap, i know there are cheap but you dont want them to look like that. My mate got secondhand recaro speed seats for £180 on ebay, there were mint. Then just got frames seperate. Maybe look out for some ebay bargains?

   If stripping out the rears get buckets, if leaving rear seats/unure get recliners
