Nothing fits a coily :roll:

Any seat can be made to fit, but nothing will just bolt up that I'm aware of...

I've done a few now. Your new seat selection is crutial to getting it to work.

If you are buying something used from a wreckers, try and get one with a similar shaped base pan to your coily seats. One seat rail is higher than the other, so it helps to buy a seat with this arrangement, as you cannot re-use the coily rails.

I disagree. I have "trimmed" down the top of one of the rails and used 75x50x5 UA bolted into the rail holes to even out the height and mounted an Autotechnica seat in one of my coilies! Easy to do, uses the factory rails and you can mount an average "sports" seat on top.

You must have a more sympathetic engineer than me.

I managed to get Swift GTI seats into my coily. Was a bit of work, and involved cutting and welding..
