    Opps - I forgot all about the pm you sent. Sorry Chief

    Do you still want a reply?

    Oh, and you'll need to make some subframes, or 'bodge' the 5 ones on. The Valver ones are way too wide for the 5's footwell.

    Like Bill said, you'll need to make up some subframes or cut and paste the two sets.
    I got some valver seats for mine before and there's no plug and play involved

    I swapped with Big Steve for some buckets... Winner

    Yeah I have a few spare GTT frames now as I keep going through seats due to the crap material being so thin on the sides so was going to cut and bodge / weld the 16v seat to a gtt frame
