 fitting a bride seat

im gonna try and fit a bride seat to the golf but they only thing is making a frame for it
bride dont stock one for a golf,
 so would this work?

seat in question

a) that looks like a cr@p and very heavy seat
b) making a mount will be a PITA
c) your bodged together mount won't be crash-tested, unlike the ones in your boring old OEM seats.

i dont mean to sound rude but,
you obviously dont know to much about bride seats otherwise you would say it looks like a crap heavy seat,
and i have now found the rails to fit the golf

[Diamond Hell]

I don't mean to sound rude, but bucket seats don't have adjustable backs and nor do they have the appearance of an armchair.

That is a faux bucket seat.

I know Bride is much feted in Japanese car circles, but this is just a fancy road seat and it'll look a bit stoopid if it's one red seat in a different colour interior.
 
How much does it weigh?  It looks heavy.

That one looks like a recliner DH

From talking to the company I deal with for Carbon parts, I've now seen they do a full carbon Bride recliner seat. Now that must be light. Never heard of Bride before now.

Be interesting to see pics of the rails fitted on this seat mate.

That's because they're ricer-stylee.

Shell seats come in around 6-7kg.  I'd be surprised if the one in the picture above was anywhere near this.

I know it's a recliner, Len, but the title says 'bucket' because it's a 'bucket style' seat.  Bloody nonsense IMO.

I used to have a true bucket seat, a Corbeau GT4 but I cut it up to try and make it into a recliner and fecked it up!
