VR6 Leather Interior

L'enfant terrible · Post by **L'enfant terrible** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 6:08 pm

Got lost in London about 20 times but got them eventually. The ebay listing lied a bit as there is a small rip on the driver's seat that will need repairing before it gets worse... Also the height adjustment doesn't seem to work on the driver's seat (so it's lucky it's in the right position for me) and the lever that pushes the passenger seat forward (for people to get in the back) is missing so I'll need to get another one of them...

Apart from that they're pretty nice, fitted the two front seats, will do the rears tomorrow.

Ah sucks, but not suprised. Did you argue a further discount out of him?

No, I'm s**t at that kind of thing. I didn't even notice the lever missing until I got home. I was expecting to pay around Â£400 for a leather interior so I'll just pay to get it fixed asap as it was pretty cheap.

Booked in for a wheel alignment at a garage next to my work Monday morning so I'll ask them to fix the leather as they do interior repairs.

I'll take some in the morning as we're fitting the back ones then.

Raining so can't be bothered to p*** around trying to fit the back seats today.

Went for a burn for the first time with the front seats in and it turns out that the driver seat isn't at the right height for me... I'm 6"4 so need it to be right down but it isn't so I had to like slouch.

Is there a way to manually lower the seat? The lever just doesn't seem to engage anything.

Took the seat out, flipped it over and saw I just needed to tighten the cable that pulls the little catch on the left side. Also fit a lever from my old cloth seats to replace the missing one on the passenger seat so all I need to do now is get that little tear repaired.

Still haven't fit back seats as it's raining still so will have to wait for pictures!

Pictures! I'm not a photographer so they're rubbish but you get the idea. Also - please ignore the RS2 bumper, my 16v is pending sprayment!

Get some doorcards to match & it'll finish it a treat!

I got MK3 doorcards with the seats but they won't fit I don't think so I'll probably pay to get a re-trim.

Doubt it'll cost too much for just the door cards.
