Im looking for some sport seats to go in my Touring. But i was wondering if they actually made them in the same fabric covering as the seats I currently have. Also are the rear seats any different with the sport seat option? Thanks

I'm fairly sure that that's the same as in my touring! But mine are the sports seats! winkeye Just need to get the seats recovered/rebacked and they'd be sweet! 8O

I want exactly the same for mine. I have the diagonal grey seats, but with grey vinyl, and I've only seen the sports seats with the diagonal cloth with the black vinyl. I thought the SE seats had cloth sides instead of vinyl?
So I'm after grey diagonal cloth with grey vinyl and no tipping handles......

The grey sport seats are even more common in 4 door form than the anthracite! There's been a couple on e-bay in the last couple of months!

Will the sport seats from a 2 door fit in? I know they have the tipping handle but I would have thought that the fitting and everything would be the same underneath. And also are the door panels just the same as 4 door saloon ones?

Door panels are not transferable, neither front or rear.

The seats are identical apart from the handle to recline, 4 door seats have all the mechs there to tip the seat forward, apart from the handles and wire.

i agree!

i just need to replace the drivers seat base as that's got one broken thread! :D

only worth doing as it'll only get worse and it's the only part that's not perfect!

tart.. me? :? :D
