fitting new leather seats , whats needed ??
Ok I'm thinking of getting a set of IS200 leather seats , is it just a straight swap to fit them ? Also is there an issue with the seat belts ? I was thinking of trying to get the seat belts with the seats , is this a good idea or not ?
One more question what is a good price to pay for a set of seats ?
Cheers ,
Moley
Should be a straight fit mate.
As for the seat belts there is a difference I think but you can move the plug off your seat to the new seat so you don't need the belts really.
As for price, as cheap as possible knowing you lol
You would be right there Stav , I,ve not sealed the deal just tried pushing my luck with a seller , got a counter offer from him but I'll now push my luck one more time to see if he bights
Good lad,
But yeah you don't need the belts,
Undo 2 plugs, 4 bolts, seat out
Swap the seat belt sockets if needed
Then refit new ones.
Job done
straight swap, it's REALLY easy. You just need to undo a few bolts and tug the rear seats in one sharp motion. Should pop out. Same story for the back rest, lift it up and forwards.
If you are fitting heated seats where there were none originally, the wiring might be an issue.

As above very easy swap did mine from chri5 car to mine in a few hours just double check the belts as the buckles will catch you out they did me was a real pain lol.
The connector that determines if the seat belt is pushed home was different on mine but it's 2wires to cut on the plug and rejoin very easy mate should it be an issue.
the other thing would be air bags so make sure the battery is unplugged before starting for 10min just for safety
I don't think there is a walkthrough for this job yet if you can get pics I'm sure it can then be narrated to help others in the future

It will all depend on if the seller accepts my second offer , if he dose not then I wont be offering him a penny more :p
as above really, i fitted heated, electric full leather to my car and it was a pain having to do the wiring, it wasnt that hard but my standard seats were totally manual.
I paid £150 for the seats and door cards + £50 for delivery the only drawback was that the rear door cards were damaged but i dont care as im never in the back!
