for an umbelievable price of..........................£75!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now how do they fit? the rear seat that you sit on, the little bits of metal that locate to the two holes r too far apart???

the rear rest bit seems too big??? one side clips in but the other seems about an inch out, also it does go down past the rear quarter, the bloke said where the 60-40 split is i need to cut some leather away????

apparently gotta drill holes in them to accomadate my original runners???

there out of a 19 16v, any help would be greatly appreciated as i would like them in 2mro :D

thought fronts were just plug n play? if not u gotta switch the runners off ur seats onto the 19 ones.

rear bench u cant fit, u have to take the leather off and botch it onto the frames of a clio rear bench as best u can then put it in!

not as far as i know matey!! i looked into this n all cuz i wanted the black 19 leathers in mine rather than shite elephant grey clio ones, but ended up with t an immaxulate willy interior instead n solved the lot!!

sum1 mite correct me tho, there may be a way but i dont know of it.

Yes theres a way...involves cutting the 19 rear bench metal slightly IIRC...there used to be a guide on CS but no too sure who did it...Adams_16v rings a bell but maybe not...

the rear bench needs to be cut and bent slightly to get it to fit. this means the leather goes a bit wonky.

not sure about the subframes for the fronts. mine were already converted from r19 to clio before i got them.

lewis - £75 is a bargin! Looks like ur gonna have to do a little upholstery on the bolster arm of the passenger seat! and some butchery of the rear bench. good luck!

Think ive got mine sold now...but with mine at £150 quid the new owner is getting a fekking bargin! :roll:

I put identical seats into my M reg 1.4 rt a couple of years ago. They do fit. The fronts are pretty straight forward u need to use the clio runners all the holes lined up on mine but dont know if this is the case with a 16v if not use the rt runners. the backs are a bit of work the 19s seat base has to be cut down couple of inches each side. I cut the metal frame part to fit and then pulled the leather tight. once fitted in the car none of this can be seen. To use the seat backs u have to use the clios metal frame and the 19s foam pads and again pull all the slack to the edges and tuck in. looked good when done but the seat is higher up than the clios so ur pasengers will keep hitting there heads on the roof but didnt bother em as i never sat in the back

am i right in saying then the bit u sit on need to be bent up at the sides or cut?

and the bit u lean on neads to transfered onto the 16v rear bench??

bit u sit on was cut on mine not bent but probably also works and think i had to drill a hole to clear something and yes back bit transferred tyo 16v frames
