[kingy]

[4WayDiablo]

[declantg]

No worries bud

I saw a set of the leaf pattern half leather in scrappy today with the bolster tightner. Thought about getting them as they was mint condition.

[Niall]

You bastard. I was looking at buying these!

[kingy]

:confusion-shrug: ooops, bad one. and i got em for £139.99

[Foxy-jim]

They look sweet mate!

[mark_airey]

They aren't 5 door seats..........

look they have the lever on the side to slide the seat forward............


unless the subframes have been swapped they won't fit! check the outer runners on the sub frames bolt to the floor and not the side of the sill

Also the door cards look like the lower spec grey velour stuff not alcantara as they are too dark!


I'm not trying to burst your bubble or anything but I think you have been had! make sure you check them properly when you get them!!

[Niall]

Actually that's a point. They never did alacantara door cards did they? They can't possibily be gti cards as that's a rear door one.

[Foxy-jim]

I can't see the handles in the eBay listing?

[Toms306]

No front airbags will leave your airbag light on too mate. :/

[mark_airey]

I can't see the handles in the eBay listing?

No but if you follow the link to photobucket and look at the rest of the pics then you will see that they are there, oh no, you don't have to do that as someone has kindly quoted them :dance:

Oh and they didn't make those as 5 door seats so they can't really be anything else!

Just noticed that the rear door card (posted up there ^^) has a hole in for a manual winder, are the rear windows manual in the 5 door? never owned one so have no idea

[Dan!]

Jim, thats because the photos mark posted are from the sellers photobucket account, which Kingy posted in the opening post

I think iv gotta agree with Mark though. Deffinately original 3dr seats, although if he deffo took them out of a 5dr I would say the runners have been swapped to 5dr runner, so that should be okay. The door cards however, certainly dont look like alcantara, GLX style velour me thinks.....

[Foxy-jim]

Haha sorry didn't realise!

[Toms306]

Only in pov spec cars and early meridians, all mine were leccy rears.

[mark_airey]

^^ so if you have electric rear windows there will be nice holes in the door cards too

Sure someone has already said that seriously make sure the runners are the right ones for a 5 door once you get them!

[kingy]

not payed for these yet. my mate picking em up tomorrow. what should i do people?

[declantg]

Personally i would wait and get proper 5door ones

[Toms306]

Save your money imo mate........I've bought seats before which ended up being useless to me.....and were also broken as I found after I sold them on! If I'd had the advice in this thread back then it would have been useful lol!

End of the day its up to you though.

[kingy]

right, fuckin well gutted about these. just emailed the bloke and told him im not having them and gave him the reasons. thanks to all above for spotting this and saving me alot of money and hassle. top fella's.

[mark_airey]

just make sure that both rails bolt to the floor on both front seats and they should fit fine TBH on the three door ones the outer runner bolts to the side, not sure if the catches for the rear seat are different possibly too but I may be wrong on that one!

as for the door cards, not sure as you would never get a set that match the seats so..........

totally your call mate TBH

[kingy]

sent a email now already so unless i do some serious botty licking i dont think i will get em. think im gonna save my money and just get a new drivers seat and then get all the interior steam cleaned.
