theres a massive cash and carry store in bristol called "MAKRO"

theres some others around the country too.

has anyone on here seen the bucket seats that they're selling at the moment,??

there £90 for a pair! and they slide and recline.

has anyone actually got a pair or know if there good quality e.t.c.??

i think there quite similar to the ones you can get on ebay for a similar price..

I believe essex racing sell these for a bit more.

I saw someone with them on a forum but can't remember which one. Think they are a bit basic but do the job. They have universal subframes but supposedly you can use cobra ones with them.

The question really is "How much do you trust MAKRO"

How many boxes do you see in makro that have been hacked open?
How many trolleys have u used that can turn corners and go in straight lines?
How many times has the guy at the door acctually discovered something in your trolley which isnt on your receipt?
Would you buy meat from makro?

Well, as has been said already, they are a basic sporty looking seat but i wouldnt expect much from them. IMO get some propers ones from a respected brand.

dont buy them!! my mate bought some, crashed his car and the seats came out the frames and he went into steering wheel and got winded pretty badly!!

they are soo unsafe and if you wanted to make them the slighest safer then make your own frames for them!! DO NOT attach to aftermarket frames!!

as Mystic says.... can you actually trust makro?? its cheap and nasty stuff
