Calibra interior into a corsa!

[MattyB]

i believe that the fronts will be a straight swap, however, would it b possible to remove the material off the back seats from the Calibra, and re-trim my corsa back seats (DIY)? Door cards i will be doin myself anyway, but its just the back seats i need to find out about.

(also, did Calibras have 60/40 split rears?)

cheers

well ive spoken to someone about doing same for the rears in my astra mk3.

they said its possible to use the covers and adapt them.
corsa seats are smaller so should be much easier to do.

i aint speaking from experience, but its do-able.

oh ok mate. do ya know if it is a DIY job and wot sorta work it involes? special tools for the removal and refitting of the material? cheers

Adam you poof. The calibra rear seat fits in a mk3 astra anyway. You just have to mod the brackets. About 3 hrs work.

As for the corsa q's yes it is 60/40 split and i would imagine its is possible as i bought a mk1 astra gte interior to go in a nova and that had the nova rear bench trimeed in the original astra cover.

Most seat coverings are held on using pig rings. You need to get hold of the issue of total vauxhall where it has a guide for retrimming nova seats (ones of the first issues i'll tell you which one tonight). I would imagine the general principles will be the same across all models so it could be useful.

I know that you ponce.
I was told you could also adapt the seat covers, so I used that as a comparison.
