Cool!
Get the Recaro seats, mine are awesome and a harness fits with them.

Might want to take the metal intake mani off and see if the bores are decent, RS seem to make them rough I've had my inlets matched, quite a common mod with Clio's

Technically on points if it was still in factory standard trim its slightly safer then a 206 Wink

if the cage is up the the lastest MSA/ FIA standard i can't see that would happen.

4 pt harness and bucket seat will do the rest
