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
