rear headrests make the nva look "growd up!" :D

When I dismantled my novas rear 60/40 split, I noticed that the headrest holes are on 2 bars about 6" apart. they will sit flush but do require some gentle persuasion with mister rubber mallet!

If you fuck up, the rear coves are very easy to remove allowing you access to the headrests to remove them (they re on clips which you will see before you fit them).
Once fitteds though, theres no going back coz you haver to cut yer seat material - unless you are a dab hand with some material glue and a patch...

It looks good m8 - honest

yep, they look good and sit flush. I did the conversion a couple of weeks ago. They make the back of the interior that little bit more intresting.

Took me 10 mins to do it. Easy peasy lemon squeazy :P

looks like ill be buying a set of slides then next time im down vaux way -

can i double check what guides i need?

i think this part number: 90257714

is that right??

can someone please confirm - as i know from experience in another email group, one set of slides, dosent go all the way down in the seat.

I'm on my second nova now and i've just fitted rear head rests again. they look the poodles plums and make the car look newer, tidyer and more grown up.

[Ben (lurk75)]

ok im ready to get slated but I dont like them i think they are to bulky for the rear of the small car!

although did see Will Foys car the other night and he had a set of leather rear headrests and these looked smart.

[mikeoxford]

im thinking about doing the usual "temporary" mod - putting them between pshelf and seat for a day or so 2 c what i think :lol: :lol: :lol: lol is quite funny but at least i get the picture.

uhm

can anyone please confirm the pt number of the slides i put above ^^^ cheers

[Sid]

[carltoncrazy]

[Nova-Flair]

rear headrests r the dogs bollox! i had doubts about fitting them because there was no coming back but i am well chuffed with them. whatever you do dont get the slides from vaux they will want ?18 for 4 of them! go to a scrappy instead with a sharp knife and a flat blade screwdriver. :wink:

[mikeoxford]

quoted the number 90257714 and theyre ?1.93 + VAT each, which equates to ?9.07

Rear head rest as fitted to Stes red car :lol:

When I went to Vauxhall the other day they quoted me ?19 something for 4 guides as I wanted the same colour as my front ones (light greyish-blue from mk2 luxe+ model). I take it the ?1.93 + VAT ones must be simple plain grey ones. I was at the scrappy today trying to get the guides out of the seats but had no luck. Is there a trick to removing them? Nova-Flair or anyone else how did you manage to get them out, as they just don't seem to budge? Didn't want to piss off the scrappy too much and proper cut open the chairs and wreck them completely. But if that's what it takes?

:?

[mikeoxford]

dont the guides go into the seat a bit more than that kev?? pic looks like they stick out a bit? thought they might go in flush or inset a little like the fronts?

as for the price, he said they are all a very similar price across the colour range

cheers

WOW, that looks just like the back of my car :)
