The cheapest XL
Of the wide-shell Mircos this is the least expensive at 365, five pounds under the vinyl diamond edition, and it is the one to buy if you need the width and want suede. Trim in white, grey, orange, yellow, black, blue or red, with six photographs on the listing.
What to tell us
Your waist, because both the 32 to 36 and the 36 to 40 inch shells are on this page. Your height, because Mirco note the shell for under six feet and a tall driver should try one. And the car, because the seat side mounts and the side mounts and frame are listed separately. It is a road, track day and sim seat with no FIA label. Shell colours and name embroidery are to order.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Mirco XL Track Day Bucket Seat In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in or 36in to 40in 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 this seat FIA approved?
No, this is a road and track day seat rather than a homologated competition seat. For events that require an FIA seat, look at the FIA-approved shells in the range, and ask us if you are unsure what your series needs.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. 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. 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.
