Congratulations on buying the best V300 model ever built (in my very humble opinion) :D

Can't really get out to take some decent ones atm....I'll get some 2moz. I'll have the trim panels off by then aswell, should make it easier to rewire the back lights.

Sidemount or base????????
Sidemount stronger seats and easier to mount.

As for the sock-ya can use it as a hanky :wink:

Don't ditch the interior I may have a use for it if ya don't want it sm14

Sidemounts look cool, do they just bolt stright to the floor? then you mount the seat somehow sm14

Keeping the interior like, want it to be reversible incase i need it. :lol:

Take your two alloy sidemount brackets and sturdily locate to the ridge where the originals mate up to.
Bolt chairs to brackets and relax.
Easy,peasy, lemon squeezy.

Real men go the sidemount route :wink:

very true sven! - however, real men also wait until they get the cage they are planning before they start drilling and bolting too many holes ;)
