Trying to decide on seats and wondered which was better option for slimmer driver - cobra clubman or monaco?
Also wondered about mambas - they look very similar to the cobras but I guess without FIA certification. Any opinions appreciated.

Thanks Greg

i think mine are cobra clubmans, im farly small, 5ft 9 and 10 stone, so not very wide, they hold me nicely in the corners, and are still comfy in town , my gilfriend likes them too, they mean she no longer trys to mount me on hard left handers though (shes skinny too)

Thanks
Clubmans definitely seem like a reasonable option then but does anyone have views on the monaco or the mamba look alikes?

Right handers??

Having sold waddle his seats, I can confirm they're good seats, grip you nice and tightly in the bends. Obviously for the ultimate steadying you want harnesses but they seemed fine with just standard belts too.
You'll get a set under £100 easy aswell, I sold mine for £70 with a matching rear bench cover.

they were a steal! yeah also the benifit of being able to use them with standartd belts so you dint have to buy harnesses streight away , although , if you do go fir harnesses, leave your standard belt in for road use, you dont realise how much you need to move in a road car!!

I have mamba clubmans in my mini, got they cheap of flebay, im on the slim side of a french fry lol, they hug nicely and hold very well in the corners. Only issue is the back is pretty much inaccessible as they do recline but hit the roof. Have had a few people about 15stone and they've said there comfy
