Seat Swap

Post by Alzay »

Will a leather interior from a 1998 V6 3.0 saloon fit my 2000 1.8 Rapier saloon?
I've got a chance of one with the door cards.

Dunno about the seats, but the door cards won't fit as-is. For one the switch panel on the D8 is different to that of the D9.

Well there's your problem... An angle grinder's hardly a substitute for a big f*** off hammer now, is it? :P

Seats:

Front will fit...

Rear... seat covers will fit, if they are two piece seats... break the rear seats down to their leather skins and filling and then simply replace the ones on your original valour.... :8

Hm, I am really confused now. Some people said that my replacement leather seats are from a D9 and they fitted fine into my D8 - both front and rear.

I guess the seats were from a D8 after all (front ones have Rover type stripes on the seats as opposed to plain ones)

Some of the newest D8's had D9 components installed, like mirrors and seat coverings... do you not remember the posts on these?
