For some reason I don't think they are, I think the extra load space comes from the additional piece of roof.

the back seats do fold in four doors, but it's only the centres of the seats where are the whole seat folds down in a five door...so you get a relatively small aperture with former whereas you get the whole rear load space in the latter

On saloons only a centre section folds down, on wagons all of the rear seats fold down 60/40

recovered my front loom today where the old fire sleeve was damaged by metal cable ties...



Pleased with the renewal.


Got a bit carried away as I had some spare sleeve...so I covered the loom on the hot side of the bay.



Should have left it there really, but I thought I'd tidy up the loom extension and managed to pull it apart...I guess it's better it happened now.


And for entrainment value, this is my painted vent Vs. the hole I cut for it...that's not an optical illusion; the aperture is way to big

I bet Ian measured it in cm's jotted it down then measured it back out in inch's on the bumper

You could use a square of ally and cover it in that 3m carbon then mount the intake in it and then mount the lot over the hole ? could be a good way of reducing that rather large hole
