Working in a motorfactors, i've got to know alot of good contacts. One of the fellas i work with, was up at a local Rally place, when he spotted 2 Carbon Fiber Bucket seats. He said they looked fantastic, and the fabric just needs a good cleaning.
He asked the guy's what they were doing with them, For sale, quite cheap too!, they just got new ones made for the rally car!. So he rings me, asks if i'd want em, so i've said yes. Havent a clue what they look like, but i know they weight about 2kg each!
Anyone any idea what they are worth? I hope there a nice shape as this could change all the plans for my Nova Interior!

Are they trimmed or do you need to get them done? A bit of leather/alcantara trickery and you'll have the best nova interior going!!
recon they'll look well smart mate

They are trimmed in normal bucket cloth.. I wouldnt mind getting them done in Alcantara! But this would set the car back a few months, as i want it out for june!
I hope there a nice shape!

seats will look ace m8, trim em in leather and keep the rears (trimm to match) of keep em cloth and strip the slag out, wither way u cant go wrong

If you put the bucket seats in your car and they are fixed bucket seats, lose the rear seats. IMO it looks daft when a set of fixed bucket seats are in a car with a rear bench.

tbh keith.. i'd leave your interior in. Its very nice, maybe you can strip it out when you get your valver in there.. :?:
keith keep your interior this year then perhaps keep teh seats for next years build etc??
T40s 1.3 would be cool, i just sold a set of nova sport ones last week!
