starting to look out for leather interior

just wondering what seats actually fit a nova ie cavvy, calibra or you got to retrim standard seats

Calibras go in, you are better off with them as opposed to cavalier ones as ther flip forward so you can get people in the back. The rears will need to be re trimmed.

Both cavvy and calibra ones look to big in a nova IMO

the only ones that look good are retrimmed ones

I agree re-trimmed is the best way.

Ilove the stiching on your interior Benn, looks awesome.

If i had a Nova that suited a retrim I would defo do it, can't see it suiting the Sport tbh lol

Calibra interiors are absolute sh1te imo, cant believe people actually put them in their cars, especially over sri/gsi interiors.

The easiest way would be to retrim the standard trim as they are very supportive and are a decent shape/size. It's a shame novas arnt wider because i would put bmw vader seats in lol.

If i was to do a nice interior for a nova i would get some recaros in the front (the old ford ones) and trim them in black leather with matching seats and cards.

yeah i would like s2 escort rs recaros leathered as well nice comfy seats.

as for retriming your my own nova seats i have gsi interior and was thinking of a half leather re trim but my past novas seats broke where folding back i think i dont want to spend good money on a retrim and that happen to them

Careful with Recaros fitting in a Nova, If you mount them on Nova subframes (even flat to the base of the seat) and are tall your head might touch the roof..
Mine did and i'm only around 6foot.
