Posts: 53 | How much modifications do you have to do to get the rear seats to fit? | | | 08-12-2010, 05:53 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | Quote: Originally Posted by dylanreid16 How much modifications do you have to do to get the rear seats to fit? | also interested in this guys... I just picked up some mint leathers for the front and the rear looks like its never even been sat in. He is going to hold the rears for me until I can find out if they can fit somehow. It looks like the side bolsters will fit but i couldn't get mine off, too lazy to unbolt that plastic bolt/washer thing holding them in the bottom last night as it was already getting dark when I got there to pull the seats out. Can anyone confirm even the side bolsters? what is the part that won't fit? the entire backrest section or the bench? or both? __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 08-12-2010, 08:38 PM | #6 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Quote: Originally Posted by Philly also interested in this guys...

Shouldn't cost much more and at least you'd have the correct and functional rear seat for the Ti. FWIW, I traded out my millpoint sport seats for dove grey vaders. Then I picked up a grey leather rear Ti seat for a hundred bucks and it matched the dove vaders perfectly. You can easily find a grey or black leather rear seat from a parted out Ti. | | | 08-13-2010, 02:39 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | has anyone done it with any success though? Id like to see whats involved and the final product... if these don't pan out, i wont be doing anything to them - only got the fronts cause they were mint and local.. it will soon be rear seat delete & find a cage for her, i rarely put anyone in the back anyway these days. If I had another car, I think I would have done it already. but if anyone knows of someone who has managed to get them in, please point me in their direction. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 08-23-2010, 06:43 AM | #8 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: New Jersey Posts: 6 | im interested in knowing this too | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
