Would any backroomers know how to have a drivers seat upgraded to something more comfortable. I would like to do this for the drivers seat of a Mk3 mondeo. So far Googling has not helped - I have found recaro seats and they do some comfortable looking ones but no-one seem to offer a fitting service.
Any help on who may do this and/or similar experience would be much appreciated. Ideal would be somewhere that has one to try first and then fitted if seems suitable.

Whatever you do, don't forget...

You'll need to tell your insurers of the seat change, 'cos it's a modification.
&, in this case, quite right too, as you might be messing about with adding/removing safety features.

Things like air bags, seat belt & seat design & construction, are all VERY relevant, in a crash situation.

& take a LOT of care, if you do remove the seats yourself, you've probably got a number of explosive cylinders in there!!!!!

There may be a performance/tuning company near you who modify/prepare rally cars etc, who do this sort of conversion and will be conversant with the problems.
Maybe Recaro have a list of recommended installers?
