didnt think the door cards fitted from new age to classic ?
if you did it, how the hell did you make them fit ?

 

how hard are they to fit into a classic then? fancy some

 

8s

those who have the 8s , did you have any problems fitting them
they have got the rails still fitted

got to admit the newage seats do look alot better, quite fancy a set for my impreza!

Did anyone answer my question about fitting newage doorcards into a classic. Judging by some of the photos, some people have managed it, so any tips ?

because I was always told, that they just dont fit period

 

My doorcards are the ones of Classic, they result of one Swiss special series...


Bye

new age dont fit mate ,door cards have been recovered by my self in similar cover too the seats (almost the same)and i do upholstery by trade done my mates scoob with same seats as mine but different door cards ,they looked good too

 

thanks for clearing that up guys
I thought i was going do-laly at the pics

 

You could source some rb5 doorcards to go with the new age seats, can be expensive tho!

 

I dont need to bother because my interior doorcards are dark blue/black which kinda suits my sti8 seats colour scheme..but the retrimming idea certainly is the way to go for some people I guess.

 

 

how about some of these instead???





all i'll say is good luck getting hold of them lol

 

Talking of seats in classics how do u get to the rear bolts, under those plastic cap/cover things, I can't see how the covers come off? Enlighten me pls.

 

easy mate.

slid seats forward,pop off covers with your fingers or screwdriver.They just come off with some decent leverage,no need for tools or force.

 

Yea I thought so but the caps seem to be locked on solidly, if I give it any more force theyre gonna snap. Why am I such a **** mechanic

 

they all have little clips/wedges on them, so you have to prise them off one side at a time...believe me I have taken these buggers off loads of times.

 

mint they aint (as described) , weren't unbolted but ripped out looking at the brackets , and 2 dodgy stains and lots of dust

anyhooooo , fitted them today with me mate, Simon, thank **** , couldn't have done it on me tod , got the UK ones out in 10 minutes and the new ones in within 10 minutes, then we hit snags , all the brackets were bent and wouldn't line up , trusty old pliers and mole grips came in handy . . . then the fakkin car wouldn't start so we tried 'jumping' it , nope, didnt want to know so we jumped it off my wagon straight to the starter motor , fired up that time , got in to go kwik fit for another battery , bloody seat belts wouldn't click in FFS
had to remove the bits off the UK seats and swap them over, not good when the seats are in position, anyways, got it done eventually , but they were pointing too far forward cuz they're slightly different, off they come, out comes the angle grinder , zummm zummm later and we're refitting them ,
perfect
a 30 minute job took us nearly 2 hours .

down to me mates at kwik fit, 1 new battery later and all is good

having the car valeted friday and m8y is doing the seats as well so should be all 'mint' then.

they're alot more comfy but just a tadge high , even on the lowest they are 1 inch higher than the UKs , didn't like it at first but after driving it i soon found it ok , gives a little more leg room as well . . should soon settle in with my weight on them

may get the door cards retrimmed now in the same colours
