just drill new holes in your mk3 subframe to line up with threaded holes on bottom of recaros

its not the runners that dont fit on the seats,they bolt straight on to the fiesta seats,but you have to disconnect the bar that links the runners to gether that opperates the catches to get them to fit on so theres the first problem the connecting bars are too short after,meaning there further apart on the fiesta,so they dont line up no where near with the holes in the floor of the car after,and im not drilling the floor.
