Title: SEAT HELP FOR BEETLES
Post by: DUBWISER on 03 March 2006, 18:01

beetle seats as far as i know mate, i think that most modern seats you will have to weld on to the beetle subframe.
then again i may be wrong

my bug (your old one tony!!) had polo seats in it for a start... that was a 73... they ARE NOT A STRAIGHT FIT as the runner channels are not as wide as modern cars... the centre rail fits fine but the legs need chopping and moving and welding. i removed the bodged polo seats and tried to fit mk2 rainbow gti trim... not a straight fit...

but hey.. if you wanna try go ahead.... nothings easy as...

 :rolleyes:
