   I got my corbeau subframes through in the post this morning, now do I need some bolts or anything else? do I just use the 4 bolts from the original subframe?
   
   How does the seat mount to the subframe? do i need extra bolts? Im going to do the passenger one first as if i cock up, which no doubt I will. I can still drive somewhere lol

   thats what i did matey, cause i made the mistake of mounting the frame first and had to take it out cause its a bastard to mount the seat once the frame is fitted!!

    slide the runners to the front, 2 bolts into the bottom of the seat
    
    slide the runners to the back, 2 bolts into the other side of the side...
    
    put frame in place when your other seat is out, and 2 torx screws to fasten it to the floor
    
    job done

    oh, unless it's too late.. it's probably a good idea to put some loc-tite on the thread of the bolts holding the frame to the seat... the ones in my corsa had a tendancy to work loose every so often !
