Yep, rears and fronts are the same as far as i know. Give adit a shout on here - he normally has the fitting kits i think. Not sure about leather headrests though...

Saloons had piping, convertibles had stitched. Front and rears are the same.

you're the 4th one to ask about the rear seat.nice isn't it.
do sport front seats have a different pattern?ie stitching goes across instead of up and down?

Nope, stitching will match yours.

If it were me I'd be very tempted to put the interior in the iS as the rear bench is in very good nick and has the added bonus of headrests and armrest! Up to you and whether you want to spend or make money!

i like money.my trim is nice in the IS. think i have this leather sold off another add.
i've just emailed some pics to him and he says he's coming to get them next week one evening.
we'll see if he turns up.
i've just remembered the leathered up cozzy days and how i used to stick to the seats in the summer,and how cold they were in the winter :?
looks like i'll be selling.
does your IS have rear h,r ?
