Right i'm having my rock and roll bed trimmed in black and white marine vinyl as we speak and was looking at getting the front seats done to match but for 650 to trim the front seats i thought

its too expensive
i can buy new seats for less

so i've been looking at some black and white vinyl seats on fleabay and was wanting some opinions

first candidate

or
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

any experience with these seats i.e comfort, quality, durability etc

the final option is to buy the interior out of a scrapped octavia Vrs as they have black and white leather seats but that starts getting back up to the expensive £500 plus mark.

help and opinions much appreciated.

Have you ever sat in the seats you are interested in?

They may not be comfortable enough.

id say the first one, but youll have to get the runners for them as there not supplied. the second seat looks like its trimmed by a 5 year old

cheers for the input :ok

i was just going to get the runners that fit with them as i just bolted the range rover runners in for my old seats, so be pretty straight forward to swap over- just gotta find a swivel base for the passenger side.

Hello Yellow,

I have seats from this company, in my van and in my BMW. They are very good and with a good price/quality.

Have fun with it.

We have just had Granada /Scorpio electric leather seats fitted takes a bit of work but well worth it & for £10 each an even better bargain.
