Just a little help if ya can peoples!! Ive got chance of some black leather seats & front & rear cards from a calibra. Do they go into a MK3 Astra GSi? Been told some diffrent storys! I kinda thin the front cards wont fit cos doors look longer! Anybody kno owt bout em??
Cheers in advance!
front seats will fit but i think you need to change the sub frames for the astra ones. rears seats will go in, but not sure how, have seen it done. door cards, won't, no chance.
Not playing with a full deck....
Wot bout rear cards? they look similar size & shape to mine!
I was told the door cards fit! front cards are nealy the same lenth, and the back are pretty muh the same.

Cheers mate! Thought the rears looked same! Didnt think the fronts would! Plus my window switches are in doors too!
the astra has a large front door, so doe's the cally! look at the inside no the outside for size comp. they do need a little mod i've been told, but this is hearsay. Find out if lee69 has fitted them as he owns a mk3 gsi turbo. or you told go though the gallery pics and find 1 with them fitted, then pm the owner and chat!Originally Posted by SmithyAstraGSi

OK cheers mate!
Fronts bolt straight in using the Calibra subframes.
Does anyone know what mods are needed to fit the calibra rears?
Fronts bolt straight in using either astra or calibra subframes.
Rear backs are a tight fit and I mean tight and you need to remove astra split bracket and use calibra one which means either a dab of weld or a nit and bolt.
Bench will sit in but no way of securing it down.
Rear cards will fit with a bit of chopping on the side that sits on the B pillar but are do-able
Front cards are a lot more of a git to fit but have been done, I think theres a thread on it, will go and have a look....
Its easier re-trimming the front door cards yourself, have a search on the technical guides think some posted how to do it a while back

Cheers mate! Which u mean by the split bracket? The one which holds the two seats together at the bottom that is held in with 2 torx bits?? Think i may just retrim the front cards in leather due to my window switches being there.
ive got them in mine front and rear
fronts.. like its been said straight in.. rears.. the bottom bit i just wedged it in between the door cards. if youve got a 3 door it will be a nice tight fit and wont move.
the upright bit.. heres the bit that needs some work.
you will need the brackets from the calibra.. the ones at the bottom of the seat that attaches at the sides of the car. (comprende?) then with this bracket, you need to bend it to more of a right angle. and its trial and error until the seats sit correctly (took me 3 attempts i think). the bits near the top that clip back line up once the brackets are bent correctly. hope this helps. if it doesnt drop me a pm and ask for more details.

Well am gonna be doin em next weekend, hopefully!! Im gonna try n do back uns first, if theyre a pain then it dunt matter cos, who needs back seats to drive!! Then do front uns cos theyre piss easy to fit! Wot do u mean bracket on seats from calibra? Ive got the part which was attached to seat but not bit in car as that was welded!!
the bit that goes on the upright bit at the bottoms in the corners. you dont need the welded bit
