   so what your saying is all after market seats won't fit? as thats what they are
   it's the universal sub frames you have to stay clear of as they are s***e, aslong as you get the correct subframes saxo/106 you'll have no probs:thumbup:

    the sparco frames come without sliders so if you already have the sliders/runners, buy sparco frames from tweeks and drill your own holes if necessary. easy done

    either ebay, or demontweeks, also try halfrauds, the later you don't have to pay postage so can work out cheaper
