Can 106 Seats Be Made To Fit In A 205?

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

as title really, looking to tidy up the interior a little and most second hand 205 seat are way past it in my price range, but tidy 106 seats are still quite cheap. Has anybody fitted or tried to fit?

 

Im sure as with most things they can be made to fit, but I dont want to be doing shagloads of work to get them in

 

whilst we're on the subject what seats are a tried and tested fit?

 

i'm sure ive seen 309, 405, and possibly 306?

 

what about 206? 307? 207?

 

cheers

306gti6 have been done via welding to the sub frame, they are large though, same with the 206 gti seats, its been done but they are big.

 

Strickly derv has 309 seats in his Dturbo. 106 GTI seats would be a nice option I think, essentially smaller GTI6 so better suited to being retro fitted to 205's.

I have the 306 leathers in my car, nice fit and look good.

 

Not large like the 206 ones which look massive even in a 306.

309 and 405 front seats fit if you make a couple of small brackets. I have a 309 set in mine.

Daz are the 306 a straight fit? what about rears? (not that i often have rear passengers if i can help it, but would be good if they matched!)

only 205 seats area direct fit to 205's

309 rears are also a straight swap, but the 309 fronts are wider (same width as 405 fronts)

Rears are indeed a straight swap Fitted mine an hour ago. Cheers for those Baz

Are they not 405 seats?

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Paul, have you fitted seats that are prob worth as much as the car to your GLD!?

 

Saying that, my sunglasses and sat nav that I keep in the 309 come to twice what I paid for it

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

Are they not 405 seats?

 

They are yes

Yep! I got it for free off my Dad, so yes much much more

 

The old 1.9 seats were f***ed

No worries buddy! They look

 

Actually having serious regrets about selling them as i said, they're a seriously tidy set and would look soo good in my white non sunny with it's shiny TH's & Goodwood all black/Alcantara door cards!!

dragging up an old thread here, but I shall be picking up some 306 leathers tommorow, anybody have any fitting tips? its a 5 door so tilt mechanism isnt essential.

will i need some sort of spacers to attach to the rails?

[welshpug 1,621]

hmm, maybe a porta power to make the car wider so they fit?

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

ahem. some slightly more useful tips would be, um, useful.

 

I think I'd be right in saying they can be fitted, correct me if I'm wrong?

[Tesstuff 222]

Mate, pop round and see mine.

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

got these now and given the rears a trial fit. It seems I am an accidental genius. Despite everybody saying the rears dont fit, and me ignoring them, it seems that rears from a soft top 306 (which is what I now have) fit near on perfect! the back rest need a bit of extra support so Im going to strip down the backrest from the old seats to the bare metal and bracket and then just attach the 306 back rest onto that.

 

I dont know how different these are to the standard 306 leathers but if anything they are a few cms narrower than the 205 seats not wider as people have said.

 

as for the fronts they have a lovely adjustable lumbar support, adjustable headrest (tilting) and the back rest adjustment is a lever rather than the annoying winder that takes forever!

 

the drivers seat (which will become the passenger seat) unfortunately has some of the stitching coming apart but I'm sure my mrs can work a bit of sewing magic on it

 

all I need to do now is see about getting these subframes fitted and figure out how much of a pain in the arse its going to be. But so far so good!

 

Oh yes and they are RED!!

Pics or it didn't happen!

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

heres a few badly taken shots of the rears. Bare in mind they are just resting in place at the moment, so the backrest bit is a good few inches higher in this photo than it will be when Ive finished!

[jonXS 30 1 Cars]

they look a nice fit i like it, apart from maybe the red part

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

Yes, as with the rest of my car its not to everyones taste. But i couldnt resist a bit of red leather!

[cybernck 400 1 Cars]

They look a lot narrower that standard 306 seats, which is why they fit.

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Amazing! Can some one please confirm whether 306 cab and hatch seats are the same/different?

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

i'd say definately the rears are different, these ones dont really have much of a 'frame' to them, just moulded foam with a stiffer bit for rigidity, they weigh f' all as well which is a bonus.

the back rests will definitely need reinforcing using the old backrests, as I keep a trolley jack in the boot and I dont want that flying through the seats!
