Lotus Seats.

[Martin R]

I went to Nick Whales open day on Sunday. The better half and i had a sit in a couple of S2,s We noticed how much more comfortable the seats are. Now im sure that a few of you will consider this as sacrilage. Are the seats from the S1 and S2 a straight swap ? We have an excuse for such thoughts as we are the wrong side of 40

Martin,

The Lotus trim people offer a very good service regarding more padding and trimming etc,maybe try them first as it may work out cheaper.

Jon, thanks for the info. I will try that route first. Regarding the 111r, you lucky man If i had the money, i would shoehorn one of those engines and gearboxes ( and seats ) in my old S1. Regards Martin.

You can get your existing seats recovered by Corbeau... but you seem to have a 111S which have more padded seats than a std S1 anyway?

 

Lotus Trim Shop can re-pad yours to your requirements though....

Always thought the standard s2 seats were as padded as the S1 111s anyway? maybe its just age that has flattened the padding on yours!?

I think it was the 111r we tried at Nick Whales. The seats appeared to be a vast improvment over mine. It may just be the age of the seats but on a long drive they do make various bits and peices hurt. The tops of the backrest above the lumbar support are rock hard. I dont have anything to judge this against as it is my first Elise I will have to look into it further.
