Sport Seats in a Touring

Post Tue Nov 15, 2005 9:52 pm

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

no rear sports seats are the same. They did do that pattern in sports seats as i have a set in my 325SE

Ah Cheers for that. Now all I have to do is find a pair.

Any Ideas what the seat pattern is called?

I'm fairly sure that that's the same as in my touring! But mine are the sports seats!

Just need to get the seats recovered/rebacked and they'd be sweet!

I think thats what they call houndstooth or some strange name along those lines, what I used to have in my car before i leathered it up.

The above seat in the pic is anthracite, I have these in my touring too, in sport seats.

i have genuine touring 'sport' seats in mine so they're definately out there.

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.

Identical to the ones I have, anthracite.
My fave cloth!

i agree!

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

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

tart.. me?
