Just picked up my GT4 Clubsport. Possibly one of the only modifications I might do is to fit some of those alloy seat angle raisers to recline the backs a touch.
Anyone done this themselves and if so what was your experience please? Seen a few different makes around but basically all the same thing.
Fitted with seats still in car also ?
Cheers. Picture of the beast ..

Tried them personally didn't like them.

If I can find them you are welcome to them for a small donation to a charity?

These are worth a look but unsure whether they apply to the older p3 (folding buckets) or newer p11 (Spyder or fixed buckets) or both. Seem to recollect they were for the newer p11s. Both bucket seat options were available in the 981 GT4.

I have these;

I do have a spare set - PM/email if interested.

I found for the first few miles it feels strange sitting a little back, but after that I don't think I could go back to the full up right! - Easy to fit, took 10 mins (there is a youtube video talks you through it).

Easy to fit and, when wearing you helmet you don't feel the headrest pushing back against you. One problem to be aware of is that when you push back the seat fully, the top hits the rear firewall first before the seat has fully moved.
