A pair of Cobra Monaco M-Sport Edition seats in nylon, FIA 8855-1999 homologated. Part number MNP2-CS-BK-X2.
Nylon across both sides
Nylon breathes better than vinyl, so it is the more comfortable choice over a long stint and it is not cold to sit on in winter. Vinyl wins where the car gets used in weather or workwear and needs wiping down.
Taking the pair means both seats are trimmed together, which matters on a made to order seat. Cobra hand trim these in the UK, and a colour matched across one order is more reliable than one matched across two.
The seats
The standard Monaco throughout: fully steel plated with a solid back and base for intrusion protection, integral head pad and shoulder support, 11.4kg each. Base mounted or side mounted. Slots for a 4 or 6 point harness.
Drivers under 6ft with a 32 to 36 inch waist.
Before you order
FIA 8855-1999 seats carry an expiry tied to their manufacture date and scrutineers check it, so ask us for the date on current stock if you are buying close to a season.
Seats only. Tell us the car and we will match frames and mounts for both sides.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Question: Fitting Our MX-5 Side Mounts To A Cobra Monaco Pro, and Cobra Monaco 40th Edition Bucket Seats with Custom Tartan Trim. Some of that comes straight from real customer questions, so you are reading answers other buyers actually needed.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This seat takes both base and side mounting, so the fitting stack depends on which route you pick for your car. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible and 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
