Just a quick (and slightly triumphant) post to confirm that the Project M door bars do fit in a mk1 alongside Mazdaspeed seats. Which are quite wide.
I'm only bothering to mention this because there was no way for me to know whether they would before I bought them, and there's a possibility this knowledge will help someone else...
The bars aren't actually bolted in yet, but a quick test fit shows them neatly clearing the seat's adjustment mechanism and the front bolster.
Obviously, I haven't tested the effectiveness of the bars in any way, but I have to say that so far I'm impressed with their heft and the design, which hugs the door card super tight but passes under the the standard mk1 arm rest.
Should Russell - Vindi, the man behind Project M - be reading this, if you could possibly dig out the fitting instructions, I'd be obliged. I could do with some pointers for the intended attachment at the front. Cheers!
