dont bother

[coochiSR]

Pull for flip foward bit will be in middle of car....... bit pointless IMO

[Lee]

Better off shopping for a replacement IMO, its a bit like putting a scuffed wheel on the other side of the car as thats the side thats parked against a wall every night lol

Be different I say, what about a nice wicker chair?

I ruined the back of my drivers SR seat due to loading sharp stuff in the backand had a spare passengers one that was mint kicking about. I put the passenger back on the drivers base (cushion and subframe) and it is all nice and bolster wear free, but as said before the recliners on the wrong side and the winder to fold the chair forwards or back is difficult to get to. Lucky its a 5 door!

mines a four door, so the recliner bit wouldnt bother me. also, a whole interior wouldnt be any use to me, its only the seats i could use

Sell on the rest of the interior then to make some money back?

My mates Puma'd MK5 Fiesta's original seats were showing some good wear, the springs were pushing against the material on the backrest. Looked like Blockbusters lol

As long as you don't mind the wider being down between the two doors, go for it, its nice to have mint bolsters! Have you managed to get the matching back seats to the pattern on the fronts? I had a right mission making a red SR pattern seat cover to go over the OE seat base!lol

[Asa-James]

nah, my interior is dk grey and black originally, with dark blue bits added by me(rear shelf, other furry bits!) so the grey and blue SR seats dont look too far out of place. bloody comfy tho!


oh, and any takers on rear seats and door cards for sale, blue and grey, mint(apparently) and i'll throw in two tired looking front seats for free. ?30 there yours (gotta make a bit of cash!!)

[Matt2107]

If you end up binning the rear seats I'd consider giving you a fiver for the material off them... I've been thinking about retriming a parcel shelf to match the seats ;)
