Not sure if it will work but you might buy a thinner seat (like a racing seat). Surefire cure? Buy a Duetto. They have more legroom. I keep thinking it would be nice to buy a later spider to drive everyday... until I sit in one. AACK! Giulia and Giulietta Spiders have even more legroom! Don't ask me why...
