I'll post pictures when they are done if interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADR approved means the comply with Australian standards and laws - that's totally different to them being legally fitted into a vehicle. Anything that changes the OEM safety features (like seats, seat belts, seat rails) needs to be engineered.And chuck some pics up! I wanna see how they look!
