Mk2 16V interior questions - with pics!
« on: 27 November 2011, 10:11 »
Hi , my tidy mk2 valver has a mis-matched set of seats/doorcards, see pics below of what's currently in there (not ideal!!) , all seats/cards are in very good condition, but I'd like to get the correct matching set  - anyone know what should be fitted?

It's a very late  91 on a J reg  (30/12/91) , not sure if  its supposed to be rainbow , crissy crossy, stripey or any other interesting pattern/colour combination!
Boot sticker indicates type 49 – whatever that is ? or am I reading it wrong…
Thanks for your help!

Yea,  I know what rainbow interior looks like :) , i meant i'm not sure what is supposed to be in there,  (very nice set you have there by the way - is it for sale!)
My door cards have blue and yellow stripe - which is different to rear seat, and the front seats are completely different as in pics - clash with everything else!? that cant be right!!

Haaa that seat set has never been used it was taken out 1K swapped for leather and kept in garage for all time, the colour is actually true colour of what rainbow used to be before UV hits it and its very much darker when new! :cool:
The seat and door cards seem to be missed matched and not right at all the scheme I think would have been what the rear seats are or it could have been a Rainbow, but yours is red. We need somemore pictures from other RED 16Vers on here to confirm those back seats are actually what should be in there!

Those front seats are corrado seats.
Ihad an 8v on a H plate that had the yellow striped interior and used to see plenty up the scrapyard with it, all 8v s though.
My H reg valver had rainbow but then again it was oak green so dont know if they all had it.

Ok thanks, least I know where the front seats came from .... Any one want some corrado seats with no wear ?  :smiley:

So when did the ultraviolet and same but red seats come in? Would mine have had those being almost a 92 ?
I'll be on the lookout for a decent set of matching seat and cards , as my cards with yellow nd blue stripes dont go with the red paint !

By the look of it, you rears seats are from a 88-89 GTI or possible an early 90 spec 8V

These are my 89 G reg 8V rear seats (with non original headrests)



Your door cards are neither rainbow, or ultraviolet, so maybe they are from a Driver or Ryder? Who knows. It all looks a bit mix and match to me.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
