@Ash187 may know

 

[Ash187]

front seats will need rewiring as plugs are different
rears will need bases changed
I have already fitted 8V seats into the 8P

@Ash187 How much changes did the rears require? Did you change both seats and backs? Did you have to cut frames and weld them? Would you ming sharing more details, please?

 

[Ash187]

Yes you need to use the original frames with the 8v seat pads. Swap them over and refit

 

[dp_motley]

Thanks Ash. Do the pads fit the 8P frames well? Should we cut or stretch them?

 

[Ash187]

No shouldn't need to

 

[dp_motley]

No shouldn't need to

Thank you!

One more question if you don't mind. Would 3-door car seats fit a 5-door Sportback? The fonts should fit (I hope I'm right), but what about the rears? Are they the same width as those from a sportback? Do they use the same pads?

Yes you need to use the original frames with the 8v seat pads. Swap them over and refit

Ash i'm going to make the same retrofit in my 8p hatchback with 8v seats, what you mean by using oem frames and 8v seats pads ? Do you have pictures

 

[abmat]

Use the frames from your 8p and fit to 8v seats

 

[markoGTI]

Use the frames from your 8p and fit to 8v seats

Is there another scenario ? I don't have the 8p ones anymore are sold now what do you suggest buddy
