Hi Guys!!

Saw this coversion kit on ebay! Would it work and look good! Neyone done it like this - or is best to wait for factory back rest with hole, ideally rests already in place?

regards all
Jason

it will work as the backrest has already got all the cut outs ready. all you need to do is cut the holes in the top fabric. i done the same conversion on my old car and it looked factory

Are rear headrests any different to front headrest, or will front seat headrests fit on the rear seat?

All headrests are the same.

Jay were you the winning bidder? That was a decent price :)

On the plus... get my rims tomorrow...no more photoshop jobs!! :D
