Your only jealous as they would look great in your car hey Rob ;) :) Tbh everyone who has seen them have commented how good they look and have said it really sets the car off but they might be going for a re trim over winter so I may change things a little ;)

Your harnesses aren't fitted properly. The ASM shoulder strap is meant to be fitted on the inboard shoulder not the outboard. There also shouldn't be any loops on the harness bar, the buckle should be hard up against the harness bar with no slack.

How do you know which strap is which? Sorry for the hijack! Lovely seats :)

The big yellow tab at shoulder level is the ASM bit (basically a bit of harness stitched back on itself that's meant to break on an impact).

fcuk me! TMS have actually fitted something right on my car. After 7 years of ownership I have finally found something done right! Maybe I've been too harsh ;)

Harnesses are horrendous for anything other than track work. You might even argue that they're dangerous because you can't lean forward to get a good view of the traffic.

 

When on the road, I used to push mine back through the holes and secure them behind the seat. I left the normal seat belts in the car and used those.

 

Seats look fantastic though  thumbsup

Probably only because it had to pass scrutineering and the scrutineer pointed it out.
