Corbeau are on Chruchfields Ind Est, round back of St.Leoanrds Motor's
Last time I was there looking for mounts the place was pretty un-tidy.

Personally, and I have been looking, I wouldn't go for Corbeau or Cobra, but stick with much higher quality Sparco or Recaro.

Corbeau and Cobra look OK, but don't look good to last......
Some of the Sparco or Recaro are not alot more if you shop around or pick up an Ebay bargain.

Best seats for a WRX 2001> are the STi 7. Better fitting and wearing then the 8's or 9's

Paul (Fulham) had put a black set in his STI Forester before he sold it so they are about if you're willing to search!
