if I get some recaro seat brackets will I be able to slide them out of the way to allow access into the rear? hoping you can help with this one streetspec!
cheers

i went to get you a photo, but i dont have my cam here, its at work. il do it tomorrow if you need.

but basically, i just did a test for rear access without using the fold function ... if i slide the seat all the way forward on the rails, and then wind it forward with the adjuster, there is plenty of room for enrty and exit.

not something youd want to do all the time, as its not lightning quick, but it would do the job for those occasions where rear access was needed.

HTH.
