Had a thought today about ditching my rear bench and front seats for a set of fixed buckets.

Are the interiors worth much? Mine is pretty much pristine, should i just keep it in the garage and get some buckets aswell?

If anyone fancies a swap for some nice buckets gimme a PM 8)

150 - 400 depending on condition, colour, leather/cloth etc :D

Ah sorry i didn't realise they did different types for the IS.

Mine's the grey cloth one. It's spotless, no rips, tears or stains. Only thing that does let it down is that the passenger's front seat doesn't fold when pulling the lever from the door side, but does from the driver's side.

This is it...

Ooooh, that is in good nick! If it's as good as it looks, I'd buy the buckets and put that away in your attic (wrapped in layers and layers of plastic ;) ). They aren't making any more of those and they're not overly common in that condition. :)

Yeah it is spotless aside from the afore mentioned lever thing!

I really need a swap for something else as it's my daily driver so i can't be without seats! :P

If i can find some buckets like eBay specials then i'll keep it, or if someone's got a pair of Sparco's or similar then i'd swap for that. Gotta be same condition tho!

I'm really just testing the water at the moment lads as i only thought about buckets today.

I'll let you guys know if i do decided to frag 'em!

Cheers for the interest! :D

You can buy a new set when you sell this one.

To be honest in my opinion, there worth £150 max, there are plenty of mint IS interiors getting served :)

That's fair enough bud, i figured they couldn't be worth much more than that as at the end of the day, it's not a mint leather M-Tech one.
