Yeh, for the fronts, the calibra seats are wider than the Nova subframes, when you have them in front of you, both dis-assembled you will figure out what needs doing.

yeah as paul said but imo they are not that nice in novas as they touch the door card on 1 side and nearly touch in the middle and the rears your head touches the roof unless your 2ft tall and you have no leg room

Yea as dan said vaughan the fronts nearly touch the door cards, and the rears have to be unpicked from the calibra subframes and re-wrapped around the nova ones the base is easy but the top half isnt so easy. The froints i just unbolted from the calibra frames and bolted them to the nova ones with a few washs in between the bolts to space the fram out so you can slide it back an forth the rear end i made two brackets to attach them there.

Heres a pic with them fitted i also wired up the seat heaters.

The only thing i found was that the front of the seat sat a little high but someone may have a suggestion as to fit that.

Bloody ell Paul dug that one out of the archives....

Thats on a budget - coulda finished better if the leather was trimmed. It look quite presentable. Using the original foam is the only way to do it imo, the leather wrapped around Nova rear seats looks really wrong IMO.

Iused the calibra foam when i fitted mine they fit ok although they are a bit bulky.
