can it be done?

im willing to sacrifice the split in the name of style over function
also coz its easier to find leather in a 4 dr than it is for a tourer :roll:

whats the verdict lads?

I think they would 'fit', but the hold down points that hold the seat base in a saloon are non exsistant in the touring, the lower securing point for a saloon seat back is in a similar place in a touring, but the upper securing points for a saloon seat back don't exsist in a touring either, it could be done, but would require some modifications obviously, and something to cover up the back of the saloon seat.

not though about getting the rear bench recovered in the leather of your choice? :cool: could go for some red and yellow with blue piping! :mad:


or maybe jsut black, like everyone else. :roll:

That's what I'd like to do as well! Don't have the :bling: tho' and not likely to have for quite a while. I'm on shoestrings again!!!! Just found out the rear suspension bushes want doing. .......And it's got 2 busted exhaust manifold studs. Both these will need doing before the MOT in July.

ouch mate , have u had a quote yet?
bet it sucks anyway

i got oil and a filter, sparks and i just changed my air filter so the service is done..almost. next im on spraying the car for 700 (boss man is a best mate), and getting it rustproofed underneath (that waxoil/tectrol stuff) for a couple of hundred

bbs have been found, and are getting refurbed With tyres for a hundred quid!

the bodykit from breyton is a pipe dream at the mo, but im after one
the leathers are on the upper part of the list/somewhere :roll:

want to swap mine, almost perfect condition comfort seats with a bit of cash to the lucky vendor, but i think iԚ´ll try my luck at the breakers
