 a kind of retro fit - but not within the model or marque range, type job just got the top bench in today, the bottoms are nearly done and the fronts should take about 10 minutes. not bad for £30 ;D ;D |

Did you know that SAAB 99/900 seats pretty much drop in?
Went for a blat in in a 1600 MK2 with saab 900 interior a few years back, comfy as hell

That looks like a pretty tidy job... well done!
Is it a case of trial and error to work out what fits and what doesn't? Reason I asked was my dad asked me if I could put something a bit more 'luxury' in his Pug 205 for him....

Did either of those amials have rear headrest as part of the package?
He was quite specific that he MUST have those for some reason....

^^^^^probably to prevent his head coming off if he crashed, although headrests are ugly, they are good

If anybody else whats to have a go, I've got a complete (front and rear) half leather interior from a Rover 200. It is currenlty just sitting in the (dry!) garage, so make me an offer!!

trg1984.... if your head hits the rear headrests in an accident, you've got more to worry about than whiplash 205 'roland garros' came with beige half-leather, with green cloth on the middle bit, but no rear headrests. I've seen a GTI with full black leather but no rear headrests there either. Not sure if the 309 came with rears or not. Are they just for show or does he want them to improve safety? A lot of the 'crooze boys' just slot some headrests between the seat back and the parcel shelf, or i know on some Fords if you squeeze the seatback, there are the fittings to put headrests in - you just cut two holes in the top, put the plastic fittings in, and slot the headrests in. |

I don't think there's any practical purpose to him wanting rear rests as such. Probably more because he had them in both his last 2 cars... i shall research further.

On the split rear seats of a 309, there are secret holes for headrests. I wanted some rear headrests for a 309 i had and was thinking of a way to mount them.
I decided to have a feel around the middle of the back seat around to see how i could devise a plan to fit them and to my discovery, there where adjustable runner things for them hidden inside them.
But no 309 came with rear headrests. ODD
BTW I've got a full 5 door 309 GTI interior for £20 if you wants

I'm a big fan of original interiors and modern seats in classics are rarely a good choice, but that looks very smart and in terms of updating your car for modern use without loosing it's original character I think you're bang on track! Top marks. |

Looks brilliant. I love rover leather seats ever since seeing them in a mk2 fiesta in Fast Ford.
