Interior swap

Its my birthday in a few weeks and im already wondering what to spend my money on (Im like a little kid I know). Anyway, most of you will know the disgusting blue interior that many puntos come with and I want to get rid of it. Problem is I cant find any decent places that have interiors, i search ebay but to no avail and also used google. Also, would it be possible to take from another car (coupe, Mk1 punto)? So If anyone could help me with my search I would be very greatful. Thanks.

Re: Interior swap

If you can get the GT interior! In terms of the rear seats thy are the only ones that fir straigh in, failing that the less comfortable 75elx ones. Coupe seats wont fir you can only get the front seats in at a straight swap. You could get front seats from pretty much any alfa romeo and they will fir with little modification, ie, drilling holes in the runners. I had GTV front seats in my car for a while. I not have the GT interior and its by far the best.

Re: Interior swap

im not entirely sure about the MK2 its all about hav far apart the runners are, if you can find seats with the runners the same distance apart, you can fir them with only having to drill holes to bolt them down, have you tried looking at stilo seats or something, they do a half leather one I believe....

Re: Interior swap

im liking the sound of half leather im off to check ebay :P, ill get one of the seats out later and check the measurements. Does anyone know about the rear seats, what will fit there as I know these are more awkward to fit.

Re: Interior swap

just remember that as you start looking at seats from larger cars, their interiors and seats are generally larger aswell, just a heads up!

Re: Interior swap

Been offered an interior from a HGT, asking for £185 delivered, is it worth it or could I find it cheaper?
