W202 Corbeau seat install
A bucket was on my mind for a while now so why not seeing as I plan more track days it made sense.

I had to fabricate the bracket a bit to make it wider so I could accept the seat sliders

Great idea and a bucket seat is a must when tracking. I would have prefered one without the script on the top, but that's just my feeling.
Corbeau seats are a darn bit cheaper than the ones offered by the reference in the market Recaro
