Early C4 seats with adapter plates for rear holes. Seats are adapted to the original seat rails. Very happy with these and they are a LOT lighter than the originals.

Pic was before the seats were recoloured.

I had seats like that in my 90 C4
How hard was it to fab the adapter plates?

RX8 seats look really nice and are supposed to fit well in a C3

I have the C-6/Z06 seats in my 72. Minor changes to make them fit. I used the original tracks. Put the new seats on the tracks, mark the new drill points which are not far from the original spot. Drilled, Used washers as shims between seat and track for bolt access. It took me about thirty minutes for each seat.

Thanks, I'm going to do it!
Did you leave the "Z06" stitching on the headrest, or did you replace the leather? I wonder if Al Knoch can do this???

What fabric did you use on these seats?
Does it help to not get all sweaty like vinyl or leather can?

Thanks

Has anyone used C6 seats? If so what did you do about the air bags in the seats? Did you just leave them in there or took them out? if out, is there an easy way to do so without having to re upholster the seat? I have a set of 2013 seats I want to put in mine. Concern about the air bags.
