None. You can search for this sort of thing.
Lancia Y10, did a turbo with some nice grippy numbers or the touring with plush Alcantara upholstry. Unfortunately Lewey there is the only man who has seen one in living memory (in this country anyway)
(in this country anyway)
Damon (Panda Sport) fitted Y10 Fila seats to his car. Unfortunately Y10's are now incredibly rare so finding one being broken is going to be like looking for rocking horse poo again...
no other fiat ones will fit straight in. if you want comfy bucket style i expect punto sporting/gt or sei sporting will be best. but as you have to modify why not got for leather 306 seats? the options ar endless
to be fair the Y10 Fila seats were actually just Panda seats anyway just looked funky with the Fila badges and all.
Later seats were more bolstered and shapely like mine are, but as others have said, almost not worth talking about since getting hold of some means a trip abroad!

Do they have to come from another Fiat? I've got Diahatsu sportrak in mine, and they were very easy to fit, including the rears.
any seats will fit with a bit of work.
I think yours will look lovely in white and blue leather!

@VmanC:
Those Sportrak seats look pretty good in your Panda. I have found some on eBay near to me very cheap. Would you mind measuring yours for me?
I need the max width and the distance apart the runners are.

Will do, but what about your seat belts?
3 point harnesses will be OK with those seats as the top strap can go between the headrest and the top of the seat.
Seats bought! Unfortunately I won't actually see them until I next work on the Rat as I'm back off to Wales tomorrow. My brother is going to pick them up for me on Saturday. Going to store them in the house so they don't befall the same fate as my other ones.
tell im if hes bored he can clean them too!
Yeah, he'll have two words to say to that!
For his services I'm having to buy him a slab of beer (or maybe two if I can get them on special offer).
What I have been thinking about though is if maybe you can get some kind of dye you can apply directly to the fabric I could colour the darker part of the seats (the bits with the coloured stripes) so that I end up with two tone seats. Either black and light grey or dark grey and light grey. I'll have to look into it.

Aha!
I'm definitely going to give this stuff a go.
Only colour worth getting is black though. I think the seats would look great in black and grey.

fascinating to see how you go. My headlining is looking awfully grubby...
black will look good as it will compliment the rest of the car!
How about you Alfizzle, are you set on Fiat seats?
