   Right,
   
   Ive been thinking and I fancy a change!
   
   Im looking at getting some bucket seat and Harnesses but.........I like the look of having some rear seats, and i like my sub.....so is there a way of keeping both?
   
   Ive seen somewere that someone used a 1 piece saxo rear bench, and a false floor?
   
   Has anyone ever solved the above? Oh and ideally needs to be MOT safe??
   
   Cheers

   ih you keep rear bench you legally need reclining seats and the harnesses will make it useless to use man
   
   tbh its not really one you can play with like
   
   i got a 30 quid fine for it and had to put a standard passengers seat back in my car

   Dont strip your car unless its going to be on track more than on the road. Looks stupid, is stupid and makes us track folk look like kids on the way to a track day

   Haynes Modifying Manual has some good ideas for stripped interiors in there, with Subs/6x9's built into floor.

   i have reclining buckets with sabelt 3pt harnesses and have kept my rear seats and have my sub in still (for now)
   
   And all 3 rear seats are easy to use.

    It depends on if you actually use you're back seat's. I was debating losing the back seat's but went for it anyway. As it happen's i don't miss them at all and tbf i never used them before either. Just never realised lol.
    
    Personally i prefer my car stripped now. But sub's do my head in anyway, so that wouldn't bother me too much anyway.
