convertable rear seats? do they fit a saloon?

[ross2009]

as the title say do rear convertable seat fit a saloon car?

[josh-hocking]

no not without modification i think, due to the horse shoe shape on the cab ... may be wrong though

[ross2009]

just seen a really nice set not bad money either what sort of mods do ya do to make them fit ?

[josh-hocking]

i think to put them from a cab to a saloon its not as bad as saloon to cab..

if i remember correctly its the mounts for the backrest thats different, could be wrong though.

They are not as wide as saloon seat I believe. They will fit with some fannying about, but you'll probably need to fit the side panels and modify them.

I remember that yellow tech 2 turd that E30partz did had cab rear seats with modified side panels, but I can't be arsed trawling for a pic of it

[ross2009]

yeah i thought they would be slightly narrower theres a really nice set on ebay at the mo for 375 quid its a mint set too

Indeed the tech 2 turd had some cabby seats. All that he done was fit the cabby doorcards and some speaker builds made to fit in the gap in each corner of the doorcards. Sounds confusing cant find a pic atm. I still have the speaker bulds if intrested

ive found a pic of the car but nothing of the inside is it the one with the alpina rims on it?

[ImysE30]

I'd personally hold out for a good 2 door interior, plus it'll have the correct stitching pattern

It had 18 Alpina's IIRC.

[ross2009]

yah think i will i mean ive got a pretty mint leather interior now its just not quite the colour im after

[ross2009]

[ImysE30]

WOW thats really cool i didnt know you could really do that some of them colour changes are cool

[ImysE30]

You can

A couple of Zoner's have done theirs, changed colour or just dyed same colour again and the results were very good.

A couple of threads in the 'Care and Detailing' Section.

[ross2009]

i just hope the piping is leather and not vinyl now lol

[ImysE30]
