Pair, they are only around £120 new :P, if there with subframes to fit your car i would pay about £150, otherwise you will sell the subframes for about £20 on ebay to make some cash back

if you know where to shop you can get em for 100 each... deffo dont bother for S/H ones at that price unless theyre mint.

the only reason you got the 2nd chance offer is coz the top bidder realised he was a twat for bidding so much

when i had monocos i didnt like them, they really are cheap seats for people with saxos and £10 a week pocket money... the material is horrible to the touch, the padding is crap, your bum hurts after a while as it feels like youre sitting on a bit of wood etc. etc. spend the extra bit and get a proper seat mate, you wont regret it. its not like youre short of a few bob now is it

Absolutey dreadfull seat, cheap and nasty and VERY uncomfortable.

Tiff if you must have buckets then buy quality items. My favourite for entry level are Sparco Rev's or Corsa's, but you'll find the Rev's more roomy.

PMSL @ Karl "You'll find the revs more roomy"

What you saying

I am not in any hurry to get Bucket seats as the OE ones should be ok with a set of harnesses for now. But i will do some "Seat Testing"

LOL @ Mark, the roomy comment was'nt meant to imply anything insulting!!!! lol its just that the Corsa's have tall side wings meaning that your legs are pushed together. Not nice for keeping your gonads sweat free when on track!!! ROFLOL

I bought a pair of Monaco's brand new off ebay last month for £195 delivered,Subframes were about £40.
Cant feel your ass though if you been sitting in them for over an hour

Got the Sparco Corsa's in the 3dr,Very comftable and supportive seat so they get my vote
