Default Rear seat removal

Hi guys

Iv got a citroen c2 and im thinking about removing the back seats, im new to moding so im not 100% sure what im doing.
So my question is when i remove the back seats will it affect the structural strengh of the car? Do i have to fit a rollcage or some other type of strenghening bars?

If anyone can help would be much appreciated
Cheers

Hello and Welcome to TorqueCars.
Hope you enjoy your time with us.

Nope the seat aren't part of the structure so you don't need to add a roll cage.
