    Default Bucket Seats

    Just wondering how much (if any) the insurance would go up if I were to install bucket seats. Most probably into the driver/passenger side..

    Cheers..

    You do realise that VR's come stock with bucket seats, unless you get one of those 6 seat column auto ones with a front bench, which are kinda rare, i only ever seen 2 of them

    Yeah but I'm talking about something like:

    I don't know whether they would look any good, but I like the look of them.

    Ask whether they have Australian compliance - if not then your insurance will be null and void plus your car will be unroadworthy unless you get an engineers modification plate. They sure look good but you take a risk...............

    i realise this isnt helping with the original question...but make sure you try out any seats like that before you buy them.
    some can be terribly uncomfortable for daily driving as they are primarily designed for use in a track car with a four point harness. some are ok, but most will be quite hard and contrictive...which is hell on a long drive.

    Whilst on the subject of seats.. How much would it cost to get 4 new seat belts, as the ones I got are getting a bit weary..

    I have a spare set of belts that are in pretty good condition... I got them when I bought the calais interior. It is off a vn, so the only difference is the back seat in the middle... I think ...
