Hi all,
I recently bought a set of full leather 8V seats to fit to my 8P. I expected the rears to be a complete mismatch but compared them to my 8P seats and they are more similar then I thought they would be.
The top half seems to fit into place fine but the bottom of the rear makes contact with the sidewall lining of the boot. Should be simple to get around, either cut away the boot lining then soft carpet the void or the harder method would be to cut an inch or so off the bottom of the seat and have it re-trimmed.
The base looks a bit more difficult. The fixing points underneath seem to line up (although I haven't measured for accuracy) but there are some obvious differences and I have followed with my possible solutions:
Cheers

- The seat seems to be deeper - Can possibly cut away some of the foam to remedy this
- The taper on the rear corners is different - needs more cut away and trimmed
- The ISO fix points are out of alignment - the holes can be cut larger
Cheers
