A fairly easy question to answer ,Is the rear bench seat for a two door the same as for a four door ? I'm guessing not due to the access in and out or the rear doors but I'm not sure .

You are correct! Four door bench has rounded off corners compared to the two door. Apart from that, they are interchangeable.

Cheers both , my fears are confirmed .I made the mistake of having a bench seat recovered from a car I owned 15 years ago and now long gone ,but forgot it was a four not two door :x

Brutus as in the film title, you've got mail :D

I had a four door set up in my two door a few years ago and you could hardley tell the difference.

Cheers Mart.There's big gap on both sides at the corners and on mine it does look odd (and I know its there) .
I could fill the gap with foam then cover in a piece of spare carpet but ?
