Ok hey everyone; here is my question:

I have a 3-door Corsa-C SXI, and I want some fixed back buckets, but as you can imagine, the problem being they dont recline... so my question is, is there no way of having fixed back buckets in my corsa but still having access to the rear seats?

One example would be to fit them to the old mounting brackets and use the slide forward/backward mechanism to gain access to the rear.. get what im sayin??

Any one with info on how they have/can acheive the above then please let me know...

PS I dont want to buy reclining seats, so thats not an option... thanks

if you have buckets and use proper harnesses then there will be no room for rear passengers anyway.

thanks

What I would recommend is to get a normal subframe for the drivers side, one that can be adjusted forwards and backwards, and then on the passenger side get sliding and titling subframes, put all your passengers in through the passenger side.

Because of the height of the seats you wont get a massive amount of space to let people in the back but you should get plenty to let a chubby bird fit in if thats the kinda woman you like.

Get one fixed back for the driver, and a recliner for the passenger. You can get designs that look similar in fixed/reclining types any way, so it wont look that odd.
