Has anyone seen or have the rear Biposto seat in the mono posto colours. I mean instead of the rear seat in only red it has been done in white with the red strip in the middle like the monoposto single seat colours ?
If you have had it done or seen it can you send me a pic as I am thinking of doing it.
Thanks

I haven't myself...but a couple of board members have. Drop Dibble a U2U or check out his old posts. He had bought a seat converter (to replace the passenger pad) and then had the whole lot resprayed with number boards ala mono seat style...looks great. If you ever need a passenger then its a 30 second job to swap the pad back over.

If you check out this website, Dibbles is the unit pictures under the products icon.

No I have the conversion kit where if I want to take my wife out then I remove the cover and bold on my Biposto seat. What I was wondering as there is a guy here in Sweden who will re- leather my rear seat in the red and white like the monoposto so it wont stand out so much like the " all red " rear seat ?

Jasper had this done a while ago before he went full carbon.

U2U him.

He is on shifts I think so dont be stressed if he does not get back to you straight away.

I have e-mailed you

Rick, anyone,

Where did your seat convertor come from? I've bought one from Casoli and being a non-technical minded person I can't work out how to fit it.
I took the pillion seat pad off, but the catches for the whole seat unit release mechanism are fitted to the underside of the seat pad.
Is there a way of removing these for re-use on the convertor or do I have to get another set from somewhere...

Thanks in advance

Martin
