    The problem is that the M3 has a reinforced bolt hole in the center, while the non-M cars have two on either side.

      Most people don't care about that...they just want an M3 looking rear seat.

        Few more pics of the rear seat just about finished.




        And a photo of the guys working on the back part of the rear seat when I showed up.

            Looks good in that colour.
            Did the guys have an M3 seat to work too??
            As I notice, the front of the base is not "Square"

                They had a photo they looked at printed from the internet.

                  Shant, good seeing you last night. Sorry I was short on time. In regards to the seat, they needed to make the bolsters more pronounced and squared off. There's also an extra cushion on the edge under the knee area.

                    The middle of a true m3 seat is actually a hard shell though, not just bare foam. And the buckets are quite a bit deeper and more pronounced than these.

                    The seat look great! Just not original. What color is that? I am kinda diggin it!

                    The plastic part Mike is talking about is the same part that standard seats have off center. The reinforced bolt hole can be welded in no problem and is completely separate from the seats, so thats a non issue.

                      Hah, we both referred to the difference as 'pronounced'

                        Thank you and as far as I know I asked and was given Cardinal, if its of a bit then it's off a bit. Sorta kinda stuck with them now.
