Body/Trim: - Estate Seats in Saloon

Big 240 · Nov 26th, 2022, 08:30

I know the front seats are the same, but are the rear seats? Can I fit them into my saloon or do they need modding?

Those leather seats at Warrington are tempting on eBay. Not sure the rears will fit a saloon easily though.🤔

I would say no as the saloon has a metal frame to slam the seat into that the estate doesn't have so the latchings may be wrong or missing.

... the back seat doesn't look very similar. Perhaps it would be possible to swap the covers from the estate car to the saloon's frames?

They’re not the same unfortunately…

cheers guys, I've had a good look at the different shapes of the rears, and I don't think there's enough material on the estate to enable it to be removed and transferred to the saloon frame. The saloon has a lot more width as it's not needed to tilt forwards like the estate.

It's a shame as I quite fancied giving it a go.
