Post by richieg »

Does anyone know any dealers in ireland selling cobra/corbeau bucket seats where you can go and try them out to see what they feel like prior to buying?

Called into them before but they had none in stock. I am debating about getting rid of my cooper recliners and getting something like the monacos, clubmans or classics. What are the monacos like for comfort? Is there any cushioning on the base?

I know they won't be as comfy as recliners and the car is a weekend thing not used everyday but I just want to check to see are they something that breaks your ass after 20 minutes. I sat in clubland a long time ago and they were well padded but I always thought they were quite bulky and you sat quite high in the car.

This is why I am thinking about the monacos but would rather compare each of them first.

I was up in Halfords (Tallaght) earlier today and they have 3 Cobra seats out on display there. You could take a look and get a better idea?

I have Kennys Starlet if you want to take a gander at the seats, I'm in Shankill Co. Dubland (15mins away from MiniIreland so you could kill two birds with one stone) :mrgreen:
