Ta, possibly the only set for sale in the country at the moment! Breakers sites were returning the DSport style seats not the buckets

Have you had chance to give your buckets a deep clean yet mate?

Yeah, had a full valet a few days ago. Came up REALLY nice! Looking a good deep black now rather than a dirty grey.

Just waiting for my dad to get in contact with an upholsterer at his work to fix the bolster, then it's fitting after that! Can't wait

£270 (but had to drive 3 and a half hours to collect them!), plus they aren't in pristine condition. Scuffed suede on the base and a damaged side.

Yeh that's not too bad like. Round about what the 207 owners sell them for.

Back a few years the front and rear seats would go for £1500!!

So finally a little progress on the seats. Sliced the stitching open on the damaged side and repacked it with upholstery foam. Took a while shaping it, and it's a little thicker than standard to account for settling once in use.

Tears all stitched up with medical suture, just need to dye it black now lol. Wednesday will be suturing the seam back together, ready for fitting at the weekend! Too dark in the evenings now

I hope the elect plugs don't provide much hassle and are an easy fix to move pins around. Other than that, can't bloody wait!!

[BenS]

Everything stitched and sealed, with an added bonus of unintentional Citroen chevron stitches! (upside down on top half, correct way up on the bottom half)

Still hoping to fit this weekend. Disassembled the wiring plug and shouldn't be too much of a problem provided the wires are the same colour-codes in both. I really don't want to have to buy a multimeter to test every pin

Looking good mate! They have cleaned up well and I'm liking the stitching too! Hope you get them in this weekend, really wanna see what they look like fitted. What you gonna do with your original seats?
