I've got the setup from JK Composites fitted in mine and I'm really happy with them.

They now have a proper template for the Atom and they fit really well. They also keep your bum warmer than no padding! ;D

They are not £20 though ;) ;)

Hi @wasp,
do you ordered two seats from JK Composites for your ariel or only the upholstery?
How do JK fixing the pads?
Let see some pictures please.

Yes, I ordered a set for each side.
They are a weatherproof padded vinyl (sounds special huh??)
They fit with heavy duty Velcro.
I'll try and do pictures tomorrow.
Wine is affecting skills tonight but I don't really care :D
I'd highly recommended them if you tour a fair bit or find the standard bench seats too big.
Cheers,

Which JK Composites seat pad set did you buy - the 2 piece or 5 piece?

http://www.jkcomposites.com/unholsterypage.html

I notice that they also offer (somewhat illiterately!) a Velcro fitting option on the 2 piece - do you know if they offer it also on the 5 piece set?

I wallow around in the standard seats.

Mine are exactly like that, except the base cushion is properly cut out to fit the seat belt hole in the middle of the seat.

And what do these from JK cost?
These look nice and are the same as on the atom i posted pics from.

Just hope they arent too big as it's already a tight fit for my 6'6 body :).

But the new jacket has no padding on the back anymore and after 4h of driving on bckroads
I had a pain in my spine...

Stu where did you buy yours then?

I bought them direct from JK Composites

http://www.jkcomposites.com/unholsterypage.html

I think it was £140 for 2, including them doing the heavy-duty velcro.

I phoned them and they were really helpful.

They will do contrast colour edging too, if you fancy that.

They sometimes take a while to answer the phone due to a noisy compressor :o

They are the best solution I've seen so far.

Cheers,
Stu

Yeah they do look very ace!

Black on black will be nicest I think.

I'm getting in touch with them.
Thanks!
